Getting warmer!

Kinetic scrolling has returned to conversations but is still buggy or absent in browser + apps menu.

App still crashing... I think I am going to reflash my device this weekend.

Version 0.7 fixes the bug augustthe found, and I've added f2thak's mouse icon, although it toggles the mouse cursor on and off instead of just turning it on (and it uses my versions of the scripts).

I think the kinetic scrolling problem is a side effect of the new evdev_drv.so driver; by slowing down the mouse, the kinetic scrolling has also been affected.

Does anyone have any idea why Python isn't finding its libraries during bootup?

Just got my Logitech "MediaBoard Pro" (PlayStation 3 combination keyboard+touchpad) working and I am *THRILLED* as it means I won't have to lug around a laptop with me on vacation in the fall.

Yeah, the keyboard is not exactly tiny, and won't even fit in a laptop bag -- but I *can* leave it at the hotel room and not worry about it getting stolen, which is the primary concern. Looking forward to connecting my N900 to the TV and wirelessly surfing/watching movies from bed. Must remember to pack AV-out cables to avoid serious disappointment.

Oh, for those interested in "how I did it", case there are others:

1 - Click the 'Reset' button on the back of the KB to set it in 'discovery' mode

2 - Load BlueMaemo, click "Establish Connection", select the keyboard from the list, tick "Trusted", click "Link" and enter the password on the keyboard followed by "Enter". The device should now be paired.

I was then able to run `bt-kbd-remap` with no problems and `showmouse` shows the cursor.

I've had a bit less luck with the GUI apps but I recognize they're probably new and maybe don't work as well.

For those curious about the keyboard support, is is excellent. My only complaints so far, such as they are, are minor; the scroll space on the touchpad doesn't work correctly (although the touchpad itself and both mouse buttons work fine). I'm also having trouble with certain keystrokes like Alt-F4 to dismiss a window (doesn't work). Finally, the built-in browser doesn't work well with a pointer device and the pointer disappears when interacting with the page; clicking also seems to turn the page into zoom mode. Firefox seems to have no such problems.

Finally, there are some places where there is, simply put, no way to interact properly with the interface -- for example, nothing seems capable of scrolling the "Programs" menu short of touching the screen.

When I use a mouse is reset after about 15 seconds or immediately if any buttons on the mouse.

The keyboard is fine (BT apple short), minus the language that I do not support any other than us

Mine is the Spanish version

PYTHONPATH wrong/missing?

Re: N900 Bluetooth Keyboard + Mouse scripts
 
smoku: no, I tried setting that. The errors that I posted are after setting PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH. It was even worse before I did that.

Hi all

I am trying to get the good layout with Keysonic ack-3400 bt, french layout.

Connecting works well (I can type with the same layout as the integrated keyboard), but no way to use the ther keys (numbers, etc.)

Launching the BT HID connect icon shows an empty screen a few seconds, and nothing more.

bt-kbd-remap works (except if i ask for fr layout in .btkeyboard).

I don't know what I can do more

Thanks in advance

Those of you having problems getting your devices to connect with the icon:

Please install the current version, open a terminal, and run

Code:

bt-dbus-connect
Post the full output here.

Thank you!
