[Bluez-users] yet another Barton Keyboard problem

[Soenke von Stamm <bluez0406@elmo.dyn.lindenarea.net>]

Hi!

I'm new to the list but I've read about another guy's problem with this k=
b in=20
the archive. My problem might be a little different as I assume my shiny=20
lilly Barton is jast broken.

I have purchased it just a few days back, plugged it into the next comput=
er=20
(the originally supplied dongle that is) and wondered a bit why I couldn'=
t=20
access the BIOS. I had jus read in c't that this should work... (and it w=
orks=20
with my Logitech Cordless Desktop via USB)

Further on under Linux (debian sid, 2.6.[67]-mh1/custom) after some troub=
le I=20
was able to attach the mouse which then also ran in hidproxy mode, but th=
e kb=20
still refuses every connection attempt. On one machine I was able to see =
it=20
via=20

~$ hcitool inq
Inquiring ...
        00:04:61:81:75:B2       clock offset: 0x0597    class: 0x002580
        00:04:61:81:74:2B       clock offset: 0x5658    class: 0x002540
(kb is the second one)

but my home machine doesn't even give me that:

~$ hcitool inq
Inquiring ...
~$

Funny anough, the kde environment (kbluetoothd and bluetooth:/) returns=20
adresses and names. The mouse works fine now.

Connection attempts mostly look like this:

bibo:~# hcitool cc --role=3Dm 00:04:61:81:74:2B
Can't create connection: Connection timed out
bibo:~# hcitool cc --role=3Ds 00:04:61:81:74:2B
Can't create connection: Connection timed out

but sometimes I also get that error 53...

As I've read the other thread I've tried each and every option described =
there=20
but nothing helps.

Now I'm wondering if I should just return the whole package because of th=
e=20
non-operational hidproxy mode. Or I could bite the bullet and try with a=20
win98se install only for testing my hardware :-(


any advice?

tia,
