[Bluez-users] Epox Presenter BT-PM01B: How to use buttons?

[Sascha Turczyk]

Hello,

I want to use this presenter under Linux: Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft. But it doe=
s =

not work. Perhaps somebody can help me.
First of all I shortly tell you, what I have done so far to get this thing =
to =

work.


Using the bluezutils I can find the presenter and even connect to it.

But the buttons do not work, so I cannot use the epox presenter.
Then I searched in the internet and found the webpage

http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/epox.html

There you can download a software especially written to use this presenter =

under linux. One has to compile this software with some scripts coming alon=
g =

with the download.
But the problem is, that this software uses some old packages which I canno=
t =

install =


"quote"

*cut some uninteresting stuff*
checking for libsdp... no
configure: error: SDP library not found.
                Please compile and install bluez-sdp package.

"quote end"

Sorry for the german text. But apt-get says, that this bluez-sdp is too old=
, =

Now one has to use "bluez-utilz" which I have already installed on my =

computer.

Does anyone have an idea how I can get this Presenter finally work?

Thanks a lot

Sascha

it is enough to call "hidd --connect <bdaddr>".

Yes it is enough, now it works fine. Thanks for the solution to my problem. 
Well I have not expected such easy way to solve it. I always tried hcitool to 
connect the presenter.

thanks again

greetings
Sascha
