How Do I Connect My Bluetooth Mouse?

Unfortunately you need newer kernel modules to enable the HID support. I've just spent a day building and packaging bluez and So Many Rotten Dependencies (10+ ipks so far!) just to get obexftpd compiled, and it's still not enough for HID. I'm not set up to compile the modules... yet.

There are bluez 2.18 ipk's (which don't need the insane dependency updates but will support HID once the kernel modules are available) at http://justnews.ru/zaurus/ - but they don't currently include the startup scripts. I might repackage them to fix that if/when I get updated modules built.

Please fix the modules and repackage them!

Thanks!!! I have hidd now, but my bluetooth card isn't recognized. I replaced my bt-uart.conf file and my bluetooth.conf from here:

https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=21303

but it gives me an error when I try to restart bluetooth:

#/etc/rc.d/int.d/bluetooth restart
Shutting down Bluetooth:
Starting Bluetooth: /etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth: line 36: /etc/rc.d/init.d/create_dev: No such file or directory

It looks like there is a file missing that I need. Can you supply it?

Thanks for your help!!!

Thanks!!! I have hidd now, but my bluetooth card isn't recognized. I replaced my bt-uart.conf file and my bluetooth.conf from here:

OK in /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth there is a reference to /etc/bluetooth/bt-uart.conf, and in /etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth there is a reference to /etc/bluetooth/uart, I'm wondering whether they should both be referring to /etc/bluetooth/bt-uart.conf. I don't have a CF-BT card so I can't test/don't care.

Starting Bluetooth: /etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth: line 36: /etc/rc.d/init.d/create_dev: No such file or directory

It looks like there is a file missing that I need. Can you supply it?

Sorry about that, you can grab that file from the bluez-utils package in the official feeds. I will repackage my package tomorrow to include it, and also fix bt-uart.conf above if indeed it is a problem.

While my card is still recognized as "serial or modem", it does work. I can use "hcitool scan" and find my mouse, but "hidd --connect..." doesn't work. It gives me an error saying "Can't open HIDP control socket: No such file or directory". Not being a bluetooth expert, I have no idea how to fix this. It looks like I need another file. All of the other stuff works great! Thank you for helping me out!

In  /etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth there is this (like I said above)

Code: [Select]

UART_CONF="/etc/bluetooth/uart"

start_uarts()
{
        [ -f /sbin/hciattach -a -f $UART_CONF ] || return
        grep -v '^#' $UART_CONF | while read i; do
                /sbin/hciattach $i
        done
}Now there is no /etc/bluetooth/uart (that file is not in any of the packages), maybe it's a typo/bug and it should really be /etc/bluetooth/bt-uart.conf (which does exist). Let me know if changing it works and I'll update the package.

Try this before starting bluetooth:

Code: [Select]

modprobe hidp
Looks like the hid kernel module is there after all (whew)

[Capn_Fish]

Changing that didn't seem to do anything. #modprobe hipd returns "modprobe: Can't locate module hidp"

Is there anything else I can try?

I see you're using a CXXX, fwiw on my 3100 the hidp module is there (as noted by pelrun):

Code: [Select]

Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: P
hidp                    9392   0  (unused)
hci_usb                 9088   0
mousedev                4544   1
usb-storage            64356   0
...

Is there anything else I can try?

Upgrade to a CXXXX?    
Or maybe try finding out whether Cacko has the relevant module for CXXX?

I've attached the hidp module from beta1 - this may or may not work on rc12, although I just verified it works on beta1. Couldn't get the X server reading both the HID mouse and the touchscreen simultaneously though

Extract it to /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/net/bluetooth/hidp/ - change the 2.4.18-etc part to match your kernel, of course.

I can connect to my mouse now, but it won't move the cursor around. #hidd in the console yields "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx HID Boot Device [0000:0000] connected [boot-protocol]". What does this mean and what can I do about it? #hcitool scan identifies it correctly.

Thank you so much! I've almost got my mouse working now!

desertrat-

I did change the file names in the etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth file. I changed the UART_CONF= line to .../bt-uart.conf, as well as the other UART_CONF parts to the full path. It looks like there's no point, as it would have been changed anyway, but it works.

[pelrun]

I edited the startx script to add

Code: [Select]

-mouse /dev/input/mice
to the defaultserverargs variable, and restarted X.

[Capn_Fish]

IT WORKS!!! I finally got my mouse to work! Thank you!!! You were right about the touchscreen, however, I was expecting it to work until I connected the mouse.

Thanks again!!!
