It appears to pair successfully as a remote device. Combo, OBEX Object Push appears in the OSX BT settings. I have tried deleting the old BT profiles on both the N800 and the MacBook Pro. I am able to send files via BT, but BlueMaemo ever gets past waiting for connection. Though, the BT settings for OSX indicates a connection, I suspect that is only for file sending protocol.

Any fixes or suggestions for troubleshooting?

I don't have a MAC for testing :), but some users successful use BlueMaemo with Mac's : http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...&postcount=196

That's great !!! Here are some applications I'd prefer to fully utilize bluemaemo with for u consideration . I do not expect to use bluemaemo for every application and operation . More about web surfing and simple applications like simple text,pic editing , IM and social networking .

A. IE , FF , safari and chrome full keyboard shortcuts are the must , faster scrolling needed , now' space ' key is good to use .
B. Able to lunch programs easier , with " excutor " , it is much easier in windows , but difficult to switch between the programs

If there's a quickest way to exchange some links or tiny words between computers and N810 via bluetooth in bluemaemo , that will be really really great !!!

Wish it helps .

You can increase the scroll sensitivity in the settings menu.

I will consider this suggestion.

Thanks

Right now, BlueMaemo has the ability to change hotkeys in the settings. However, you can only change it to letters. It would be a LOT better if you could make combo keys etc. (look at controlMK for an example).

For example, in Winamp, the "play" global hotkey is something like "Ctrl + Alt + Insert".

Well, both have issues actually. I have a French (Azerty) N810 and here is what happens :

- the soft keyboard has a qwerty(-like) layout, but keypresses translate to some sort of azerty equivalent (ie "a" is "q" etc.)

- the HW keyboard is azerty, obviously, but the remote host receives a qwerty-like key code (a for q etc.).

Fishing around for the right letters (a, z, q, w, m) is easy enough, but finding and memorizing punctuation, special characters and numbers is almost impossible... I suspect some are even missing :-)

Great news, thanks ! (but I suspect it's not going to be trivial :-)

Yes that I'm familiar with that post. Alas, despite that post I have not been able to get it working. I tried installing BlueMaemo 1.1 as well. I've tried booting from flash and also off the SD.

Anyone with any suggestions, please let me know.

Well done. Works perfectly with Windows XP SP2 and the Toshiba Bluetooth stack. This is a wonderful application. Thanks!

How do you set the keyboard shortcut to escape and other keys not present on the virtual keyboard? Accidentally pressed a button and now I can't set it back to escape.

I would also like to know how to bind non-standard keys. I have a PS3 and as you may have notice from a previous post, a couple keys are escape and right-click, neither of which are options.

It would be cool if the "controller" mode could have "sub-modes" such as "PS3", "computer controller", "wii", etc.

My last question is whether or not this program would work on a standard linux machine, I would like to use my linux laptop as a keyboard/mouse for my PS3, but the only way to do that is via VNP on the N810. If anyone knows of another program that works in linux, that would be great also.
