Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse NOW!!!
 

I have the same problem with my Targus bt mouse. The tagus stays in pairing mode, while the n900 thinks it is paired ok.
A hcitool cc (connect) turns the bt-icon blue for a second, then off again.

Tried with another one, a chinese oem mouse (TX18) That one connects ok but wont move or generate any clicks.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse NOW!!!
 

we need a list of BT mice.. which ones do work, which ones dont.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse NOW!!!
 

Try chinese one with modified bluetooth.ko (see my previous posts), hopefully it will solve the issue

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse NOW!!!
 

Thank You very much!
Works perfectly now. Your kernel module was the last piece of the puzzle.

With the blutooth mouse and my Apple bluetooth keyboard, I now have a very portable solution.

Now I'm thinking of getting a fresnell lens to get that retro Brazil the movie look to my setup :-)

Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 works (but only with Bluez-Compat).

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse NOW!!!
 

I have a problem with installing bluez-compat. I can't install it on my N900. All the time it shows the same error : "uncompatible package". Can you help me please?

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse NOW!!!
 

you need only the binary "hidd" from the package. extract it manually and copy to N900.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse NOW!!!
 

Hello!
I've got problem.
I run dpkg -i bluez.deb
Than connect my mouse with hdd -connect.
But i don't see cursor.
I install libxmuu1 than try to send command ./xsetroot cursor_name arrow
Terminal back me message: /bin/sh : ./xsetroot: Permission denied.
What i'm doing wrong??
I try with root and sudo gainroot.
Sorry for my english and for my strange questions :)
Regards
Windows user ;D

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse NOW!!!

Thanks for the great work!!!

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

Anyone know if the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 is compatible? It's on sale at a local retailer, but there's no point in buying it if I can't connect it.

But quake3 don't work perfect with it :/
Mouse don't work correctly. It "drive" to end of screen and stop. So you can't do a full 360 reverse.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse

*please*

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

G'day F2thaK could you use that queenbeecon widget to do your command? just like the oc desktop shortcut.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

not sure, thats why i was asking for help :D

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

okay, here you go guys...

A shortcut to show mouse cursor! with icon!


1. Follow these instructions BT mouse support

2. Extract http://f2thak.com/N900/mouseshortcut.zip to root of phone, not MyDocs!

3. Go to Xterminal,

root
cd /
chmod +x mouse.sh

4. Reboot

5. In App menu run MouseCursor shortcut to show mouse cursor!
Add it to desktop, wherever you want!



will show up in app menu

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

well done f2thak! this is all comming along nicely. can't wait for a quick install for the bt mouse, i'm sick of getting things wrong and flashing : ( . keep up the great work guys.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

if someone can improve it, be my guest.. atm the terminal window stays open but if you press menu button it disappears.......

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

okay so ive got my mouse

but... ive got it paired, but no movement..! got fully visible cursor (followed post #1)

I do hidd --search but get

HID create error 13 (permission denied)

I didnt install bluez-compat right, dunno how!

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

@f2thak : Copy attached file to /home/user/ extract it here and move hidd file from /home/user/usr/bin/ to /home/user/.. then in terminal run sudo gainroot and run search using hidd file (./hidd --search)


I think, i've installed everything correctly but when i run
./hidd --search it searching a while and after that it shows me message : "No devices in range visible" I have BT switched on, and my mouse is Logitech M215. Can someone help me pls?

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

If mouse gets paired but no movement, you don't need hidd (methinks). I am pretty sure you need to replace bluetooth.ko in order to have movement.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

what gives?

I flashed, started all over.
now i cant even install libxmuu1 - no installation candidate??

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

did this but it says "hidd not found"
put hidd file in /home/user

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

okay sorry to flood thread but I have had SUCCESS with a CHEAP mouse!!



works GREAT, almost NO lag... connects with a few clicks after boot :D

But Ive noticed when mouse is connected, I cannot access my phone thru SSH over wifi....

also the thwo *.debs installed showed errors, they have dependency issues..

this is also not 100% correct but I did this and it was the only thing that worked for me with the following mouse.


HOW TO:

1. bought this CHEAP ($25AUD approx) BT mouse

2. flashed phone (after failed attempts, due to kernel issues)

3. followed 1st post of this thread (NOTE: I had to "chmod +x xsetroot" in xterminal, in file directory)

4. use freemangordons bt.ko file (ensure it overwrites current bluetooth.ko file in "/lib/modules/2.6.28-omap1" by default - if you have stock kernel(s)

5. put the hidd file in this post in /home/user/ (this seemed to do nothing)

6. for some reason i had to install libxmuu1 by d/lding *.debs and in xterminal
also I dpkg'd bluez-compat
both show errors, but are needed.

7. did the following - show mousecursor shortcut
this creates a nice shortcut to show mouse cursor (I use on boot usually :D)

8. Reboot

9. Activate BT, add device -> pair mouse

10. Click / connect mouse... ? and use!



I love it !! shame I cannot use shh->wifi at the same time :confused:

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

Just a note, I was able to successfully pair my Microsoft Notebook Mouse 5000 using the hcitool and dbus-send commands from this post in the BT keyboard thread.

So the debian bluez-compat hidd binary is not needed. That's good news.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

I remember asking the question AGES ago, back when the N810 was a new thing... whether mouse would be supported in the next OS. I remember being told that now that Fremantle is using xorg,it would be a REAL X implementation and YES--support a mouse.

Since I didn't buy an N900, I assumed it worked fine. Sounds like we're STILL hacking a mouse to work. Why is Nokia going out of their way to make this difficult?

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

Interesting. I copied the patched evdev_drv.so to the /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input directory... and my phone rebooted!

Scared the poop out of me!

But everything was fine after the reboot. The mouse works great in Easy Debian, which is the only place I want it to work, anyway.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

By the by, you guys (making this work) and especially Qole, get a HUGE amount of my respect and gratitude for doing this stuff. ...even if I'm NOT buying an N900. heheh Just glad SOMEONE's enabling users to get the kind of device they want, not the one Nokia wants them to have.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

gotta love the underdog in any fight (a shame it's nokia beating itself with a big stick!). tried to hack everything i've had, not just coz but to get what i want out of a device. do it your way fellas! ive bought the thing where's the support from the people who want me to buy the next best thing from them, just to get rammed?! still love my n900 anyway n will put up with a lot of **** for it because it's bloody awesome!,versatile and some people like to put in the effort to make it better than it can be. full support of a bt mouse would be fan-bloody-tastic! (i can allways dream of quake 3 with mouse on the n900) the ball is rolling and im happy : )

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

Its a joke

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

an explination of how-to-do-this would be great

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

i got up to step 5 then got stuck..

it says
interface "org.bluez.Input" doesnt exist


edit: tried step 5 again, this time i get error:
couldnt allocate dbus message

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

f2thak: I'm writing a script to do this easily (you pair your mouse/keyboard, then you click on an icon and choose your mouse/keyboard from a list, and it is active). I'll have it ready in a day or two.

I would really like someone (azerty1? freemangordon?) to package up the patched evdev_drv.so and put it into the repositories. I can write all the scripts to get everything hooked up, but I need someone else to put the binary into a package for the autobuilder.
