Does this work with windows 7? I get the connection disconnected too often and the nothing really works?
vivmak as travla said the instant disconnect problem could be solved by removing the existing n900 device and then adding it one more time (pairing). the new device will be detected as a phone and if you look at its properties under services you should find that you can enable the keyboard and mouse HID service. If that service was not there then open bluemaemo and try to connect from there this will instigate the service. Then go and select the service and windows will install the drivers for it.
I have to tell you that it was not straight forward for me and i had to experiment with different things but after that it all works perfectly so don't give up.
Hi! Is Bluemaemo still on development or can we get it from the standard download? can someone share the step by step guide to download it from development? Thanks.
Hi, I was trying to install Bluemaemo from Maemo extras Devel but failed. I got message that there is a conflict with programpackage: libeina0. Can someone please instruct me what to do cause I need Bluemaemo for PS3.
Best regards to you all and thanks in advance,

Hi Vivmak, it works well with windows 7 but right now I am also facing issue of mouse cursor moving 1FPS... remove your all bluetooth pair from the Device list and try to make new paring your system with N900 it will work fine.
Has anybody found the way around this issue? And by that I mean the cursor moving very slowly.
The app is great, but being unable to use the cursor when the option is right there is very frustrating.

Well, in case anybody else is experiencing the problem of the cursor not responding or being extremely slow in bluemaemo:
I had the issue since the first time I installed it. Only once it worked after pairing a laptop for the first time, but when I connected again, it was back. For unrelated motives, I had to reflash my N900. I didn't restore all the software, but instead picked only packages that I was actually using. And now it works! Smoothly!
This might not be particularly helpful, but it points towards that other application was the one messing up this function. Sadly I have no idea which one, I just had too much stuff installed.
This used to fix it but is not fixing it anymore, I just re-flashed and tried this command, I got an error message saying something like:
"Version 1.2.2+svn41533 of libeet was not found"
Edit Fixed:
If anyone gets above error, open xterminal, type root or sudo gainroot and then enter in these simple commands exactly as I have listed them, even if they don't make sense to you, it does work and fixes the error message.
1. apt-get install libeet1
2. Wait for it to be completed. This has to be done first.
4. Wait for the above to be done, will take a while.
5. Then type apt-get install libevas0-saver-jpeg (no more room on the above command to fit this in fully, so have to do it separately)
6. Wait for it to be done
7. Run Bluemaemo and see if it opens and runs properly, if it does, you are done! If it opens and shortly after it closes, then you have one more step to do.
8. [Optional - Check if app opens first] again in X-terminal and as root, type the following command:
ln -s /usr/lib/libembryo-ver-svn-05.so.0.9.9 /usr/lib/libembryo-ver-svn-03.so.0
9. Enjoy!
So I followed your instructions and came across some problems. It had to do with the Repositories on the device.
In Xterminal
sudo gainroot
I had to do:
apt-get install libeet1=1.2.2+svn41533-maemo1
Then: (notice I removed libeet1 from the install below (because it would bump it up to 1.4 something and then would NOT install)
