@VDVsx

Awesome

That is what I have been looking for to control an old laptop with XBMC:D

Add me to the list eagerly anticipating this added functionality!

Unless he/she meant actually being able to control what media was being played or what not? If so, something like Sonata + MPD would work better for Linux at least. But that still isn't mouse control.

Yes I was asking about media controls as in play, pause, stop, etc.
Also I'm a he.

I think I saw a beta from the maemo pages but I couldn't install it since it needed java.

BlueMaemo is written in Python and C, no Java needed.
I have the beta version completed, but I'm having some troubles figure the best way to distribute the package, because it need root privileges (open reserved bluetooth sockets),if anybody have some suggestion I appreciate :D

In your package. create a file called:
/etc/sudoers.d/bluemaemo.sudoers

Put this in the file:
user ALL = NOPASSWD: <program you want to be able to execute as root - FULL PATH MUST BE SPECIFIED>

In the postinst, put:
update-sudoers || true

Then where you need to run the program as root, just specify sudo <program> to start the program.
