Re: blueZ-bthid testing

["Deepesh S Gujarathi" <d_gujarathi@hotmail.com>]

Hi Marcel,

I tried to create the device node using the following commands but I still
get the same error ( > bthid[2040]: can't open input device: no such file or
directory (2)) .
I created a device node using the command
# mknod /dev/misc/uinput c 10 101
I hope I an not feeding the wrong MAJOR device number.
Do let me know the proper command to create the device nodes for creating
uinput or mice node.

thanks
Deepesh
