do i have to have something in one of the /etc/bluetooth/*.conf files 
specific to the BD Remote?

could somebody who has this working please post the contents of 
/etc/bluetooth/*.conf?
or do i need something to be configured in dbus?

i cannot see how any of the code in input/fakehid.c gets called. i've 
put a lot of debug statements in there; trying to understand the logic.
i don't see any devices getting registered

thanks in advance
