Introducing BlueMaemo - maemo.org

VDVsx | # 1 | 2008-10-18, 18:31 | Report

BlueMaemo is a remote controller program for the Maemo-powered devices. With BlueMaemo you can turn your Maemo-powered device in a mixed Bluetooth keyboard-and-mouse device through the HID Bluetooth profile.

The first BlueMaemo release can be found in the project download page, you must have the Maemo base repository enable in order to satisfy all the BlueMaemo dependencies.
The application are in a beta state right now, so all the suggestions are welcome, I also need some help to figure a way to turn on and off the bluetooth adapter of the devices, if anybody know a way to do this (d-bus,system call...) I appreciate the help

More information about the project can be found in: http://www.valeriovalerio.org/?page_id=174 (usage instructions, to-do list...).

Can you explain it better ?

I have to warning that the only keyboard layout supported at this time are US-ENG, so if you are using for example a Latin layout, the shift combination should produce a different keys from the key that you have pressed in the device.

Thank you.

The dependencies are almost the same as Canola or Carman have, for example you can easily install the base repository in this link: http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/install_second.html (.install for base rep in the second step).
