Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

I hope you can give me some help to do it ( see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=50641 ;) ). Just explain what you need me to do (upload binaries, source, whatever) and i will. Re scripts - once we have deb created I will try to make scripts/UI(or help you if you need) that automate the whole process of showing/hiding cursor (one can use hal, dbus,...).

Cheers

BTW - azerty1, is there any progress with microb mouse support?

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

In addition to a packaged, patched evdev_drv.so, we need a packaged xsetroot.

I'm personally not very interested in showing/hiding the cursor, since I don't understand why you would use a mouse in Maemo anyway, but I'd appreciate a rough script that does all the steps for showing / hiding the cursor to include in my package.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

all of a sudden today I can install libxmuu1 again,,, so i do.. plus xterm removed bluez-compat

Now, my mouse works without bluez-compat! (acutally, i never tried without it)

I've made a package to make the BT mouse and keyboard work. See this thread.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse NOW!!!
 

I would like to add that Apple Magic Mouse also works with N900: http://twitpic.com/24ixcj

The touching scroll is not working yet, as expected.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse NOW!!!

Mouse in Open Arena doesn't work properly:

The cursor doesn't move unless a button is being pressed.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

Have a bt mouse, got it on the net, sent from china. Sometimes it will work for a brief moment(usually less than one second) when first paired but then stops working, the bt icon stays blue though. Any ideas?

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

has anyone tested the mouse in rdesktop?

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

Yes, this is what I wanted to check.

Got my mouse up and running by repacing the bt.ko file, works great no delay, the mouse only cost me £12.50. Also got my SU-8W keyboard working at the same time, it's incredible, why nokia didnt sort these things out is beyond me, it has made the N900 twice the machine.
The mouse works perfectly in rdesktop, left click and right click all fine, it makes rdesktop very usable. I will let you know if I find any problems going forward.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse

Extract the correct bluetooth.ko module from zip and copy it (as root) in /lib/modules/current

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

@moderators - think this thread should be merged with qole's one

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

Same on as f2thak on page three on this thread, you can get them from lots of places on the net.

Im no expert and I had to learn some basic stuff like deleting and copying files in X term, also unzipping/unpacking on the N900 but it was worth it. Still dont know how to copy to root so haven't got a short cut for the cursor yet.

Replacing the bluetooth.ko with freemangordans version was vital for me and I suspect it will be for many others.

For those like me who are not use to this stuff this is what I did:-

Follow everything on page one of this thread, then

Unzip the file provided earlier in this thread by freemangordon and replace the bluetooth.ko in "/lib/modules/2.6.28-omap1" for the one provided, I shortened the file extension to .ko on the new file.

you have to reboot

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

My mouse (logitech M215) still doesn't work with N900. I tried all instructions. Is it possible to pair with N900 mouse, which uses usb bt adapter to working with computer? Or it is only possible pairing N900 with mouse which is able to connect to internal bt module on notebook (no usb adapter in package with mouse)?

I' am sorry, maybe it is a silly question..

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

Mouse cursor trick from the OP works brilliantly with synergy. Using desktop PC, move mouse cursor off the edge of screen on PC, jumps to N900. Love your work azerty1.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

@jabawok: can you post a howto? I have Ubuntu on the desk.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

Could you let us know where you bought this in the UK?

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

I am also using synergy for my win7 pc and the mouse pointer works beautifully, but for ubuntu you can use x2x to get the same result

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

Is it possible to change/configure the mouse cursor?

i would like to use a totally black arrow cursor (without the white boundaries)

Thanks.

EDITED: Solved it by downloading other cursors and now using a smaller cursor.

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

Works for me (well, for some mice), but is the patch to evdev_drv.so available? I'd like to use it with an application I'm porting, and I'd prefer not to refer users to a mysterious binary...

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

how can i change the mouse cursor with another one?

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

I have been using the V470 Logitech bt mouse and it works really great with N900. I would also love to control fennec-7.0.1 too but I just cannot make it work.
Yes, I did add the line:
override chrome://browser/content/cursor.css data:text/plain,<nada/>
to the chrome.manifest, localized.manifest and nonlocalized.manifest files but still, the mouse cursor is invisible....

Anyone out there with a success story to share?

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

@refugee - you may want to check if extmou from my signature does the job for you

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

I installed extmou without removing any packages (I noticed that extmou did that in the installation process) and reboot. The mouse paired automatically but it is still invisible with fennec.

Should I have done any extra steps?

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

Is this method work on Nokia N9? :rolleyes:

Re: N900 Working Bluetooth Mouse
 

In case someone is still 'round here, it's an old thread, I experience inconsistent behavior with the same mouse being used with different firmware. I had it working strait ou of the box with pwnphone installed, took some reading and work with nokia/cssu firmware, but now with hackpack installed I just cannot get it to work. The cursor is stuck on the side of the screen and no matter what I do, no matter what trick applied, it will not work. It's not visible in desktop, though I know it's there because scrolling produces results, and it's visible in debian, only it's stuck in a corner. I tried replacing evdev.drv manualy, and running the script, tried replacing bluetooth.ko file, even extracting these from other firmware images, but nothing. Does anybody have a suggestion what to do? tnx.
