Re: N900 Bluetooth Keyboard + Mouse scripts

smoku: the wiki says I should use this line to "hook into" the device startup. But logging tests sugggest to me that the daemon script isn't being run at all!

Code:

update-rc.d bt-hid-daemon start 99 1 2 3 4 5 . stop 99 0 6

I tried it with 0.1 and 0.2, but on both, the list of keyboards appears empty on my n900.

The keyboard is "Leasun Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard".

When launching bt-dbus-connect, it appears on the console:

Code:

cat: can't open '/var/lib/bluetooth/0*/names': No such file or directory

cat: can't open '/var/lib/bluetooth/0*/names': No such file or directory

, and on the n900 screen, the list is empty

It connects when I manually launch:

Code:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/673/hci0/dev_01_18_09_12_04_BD org.bluez.Input.Connect

bt-kbd-remap, tells me there is no keyboard when I launch it, if I have not connected the keyboard.

After connecting with dbus-send, it shows this error:

Code:

/usr/bin/bt-kbd-remap: line 57: syntax error: "fi" unexpected (expecting "then")

I hope I may help.

I have both the apple Mighty Mouse and Apple wireless keyboard (silver).
I am able to pair both devices and have them listed under [Bluetooth Devices]
At this point, on selecting any of them (mouse or keyboard) from the bluetooth devices list and clicking [edit], I do not get the connect button.

I then proceed to install your "BT HID Connect" scripts.
on runing the program, I see both the mouse and keyboard listed.

I then double click on each and get the bluetooth status to turn blue. {so I know they are connected}.

However, I cannot get the pointer to move (although it's visible) and I cannot get any key on the keyboard to work either.

This is as far as I get.

Edit:
I get the very same error messages as quoted above by JORMARTR on trying those commands.

This looks like standard SysV init. Maemo5 uses upstart.

Nah, no crashes at all touch wood.

My phone has never crashed anything except for DrNok SNES emulator.

I wasn't talking about the device, I was talking about Web and Messaging. I was getting "Internal error ..." messages and all I did on my N900 was installing this script and changing shell to bash.

Anyway those messages stopped now so I can't find out why it happened.

Anyone know why?

If I use the program on the menu, works, but if I launch /etc/init.d/bt-hid-daemon, or bt-hid-connect-mgr,py, crashes.

Re: N900 Bluetooth Keyboard + Mouse scripts

I hate to be a pain in the arse and I know it is always a risk using things out of extras-devel but I would dearly love to restore my phone to the state it was in before installing this.

As stated the program ran for me first time but updated versions just crashed no matter from icon or command line.

I am now left with mouse cursor visible in a lot of places where it regularly messes with my ability to 'click and throw' to scroll.

IE: I have a lot of conversations and I can no longer do a quick drag up or down the screen to send it flying for a while.

How to turn off mouse cursor?! Uninstall process has obviously not been as clean as I'd like.

And don't worry about being a pain--I'm sure qole appreciates everybody's testing and feedback :)

And to qole: Thanks for at least trying to make this stuff work. It's obviously in the very early stages, but if/when you figure out the problems with it it will really make my N900 perfect. BT HID is one thing I really miss from my N810. Thanks again. :D

Re: N900 Bluetooth Keyboard + Mouse scripts

bandario, FreeThinker:

Yes, I notice some of the same problems. Kinetic scrolling is not working very well, I see a grey screen briefly in the background often when I am moving between apps, and the mouse cursor appears after the phone has been "dormant" for a while.

I am currently using "hidemouse" to get rid of the cursor, but I don't know what to do about the other problems. I'm not sure what's causing them yet. Is it the new evdev_drv.so? I'm not sure.

Re: N900 Bluetooth Keyboard + Mouse scripts

0.6 fixes the "mouse pointer in text fields" problem. Still working on the other issues.
