Sender: bluez-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: bluez-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net Reply-To: bluez-users@lists.sourceforge.net List-Unsubscribe: , List-Id: BlueZ users List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Sun, 11 Sep 2005 16:16:41 +0300 Hi, I've recently bought a new PC which came with Microsoft Optical Desktop for Bluetooth set. During setup (both Windows and Linux) I've used a normal PS/2 keyboard and everything went OK. The installation of the bluetooth devices in Windows was also OK. But with Linux, I came up with lots of problems. By trial and error, I have managed to use it, but I still have problems. The mouse has no problems at all, since no PIN is used for it, but for the bluetooth keyboard I had to setup a PIN (using the default pin-helper) which has to be the same with the one in Windows. Although it works for a while, if you don't press any buttons for some time, the connection between keyboard and PC is lost.In addition to that, when I exit from Linux, the connection is most of times also lost, so I cannot control the boot loader or the BIOS and even worse, I have to go into Windows to re-install the keyboard so that I can finally use it. Thanks god the mouse always works and therefore, I don't have to connect a PS/2 keyboard every time I use Linux. Oops, I've forgotten to mention that I'm using Gentoo Linux with a 2.6.12 kernel (morph-sources) and the latest stable BlueZ stuff for Portage... If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful...
