Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

I cannot use Microsoft BT Mouse 5000. Here are my steps:

1. install extmou from extras-testing
2. reboot
3. switch BT on in N900
4. hit connect button on mouse
5. discover mouse as new device with n900 and couple with code 0000

The mouse is listed in known devices, but it is not connected (the "disconnect" button in the edit menu is greyed-out) and the mouse also does not leave discover mode (indicator led is still flashing)

did i miss any steps?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Yes, there is another guy to help me. And he told me that first 10 days of 2011 will be used for development. Still no news, though.

To install qtmweb click on the link and save .deb file. After that open file manager and navigate to location where you have saved the .deb file and click on it. HAM should launch and install it.

Re what is missing in qtmweb - you can check here

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

No, your steps are correct.
You may try to install extkbd, where in UI there is an option to manually connect paired BT HID devices.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Thanx for this suggestion freemangordon. When I hit the "(re)connect bluetooth HID devices" then the message
Any further advice?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Yeah, you need to enable input plugin in /etc/bluetooth.conf , read thread's first page ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Edited file & successfully connects to bluetooth mouse however, when i move the mouse or click, within 1 second my n900 stops recognizing any movement or action by the mouse...so i have a mouse which i can use for half a second then wait 5 seconds before it responds again...please ANYbody know what might be wrong??

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Hmm, don't get it why noone reads first page. Anyway, install kernel-power v46, that shoud help

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou

my problem : in microB scroll work good and mouse cursor work good

but when i left click or scroll on the page the mouse cursor hide and not show in microB :(

i should exit from microB now it visible

can you help me ?

again thank you :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Did you try the left-right swipe to unlock the cursor?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

thanks for reply

my problem is only in microb

mouse cursor is visible but when i click on the page or scroll mouse cursor miss in the page :confused:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Open up a web page, then in landscape mode, swipe your finger from between the telephony speaker hole and the notification light, from the left, right over the screen. Thats the left-right swipe :-) It will unlock the mouse in microB.

Edit: If you want it to stay unlocked, tap on the bold cursor that will appear in the left corner.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

thanks but i know it :)

this mouse cursor cannot click or scroll with host mode

can you scroll with microB mouse cursor ? :eek:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Yes but i use the mouse wheel.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

is there any way to connect wireless not usb keyboard and mouse with n900?????

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

i have the same problem - my mouse works fine in all other applications.

the mouse will appear in microb but I cannot left or right click on anything on the page ie. links....

the mouse just doesn't work for me in firefox either...

someone mentioned in this thread about a browser "QTMWeb" working with the mouse - how can I get the deb for this browser?

Thanks for the help guys.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

As already stated several times in this thread microb does not support mouse. re deb - search the thread please.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

sorry. followed your advised: going to try your qtmweb?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

With extmou version 1.0.6 you have now option to connect bluetooth mouse manually if it does not autoconnect. Also input plugin no more need to be manually enabled

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

New version of extmou and extkbd has a big problem after installed.

You can't connect your sixasix ps3 bt controller to your n900 anymore.
It keeps asking you connect to ps3 controller: YES OR NO.

Uninstall extmou and extkbd will solve the problem.
:mad::mad:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Is there any way to pair a mouse without giving a passcode?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Don't think it is possible, but once paired it shouln't ask for it again. And my understanding is that most (if not all) BT mice have passcode of 0000. BTW maybe there is some hacking through bluez config files, never checked. And if you want to pair your mouse with your GF's phone without her know that, I would reccomend to choose moment very carefully, otherwise you may end up screaming in pain :P

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Basically i dont know the passcode and i tried 0000 1234 9999 ...... I have a "razer pro click mobile" mouse.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

So...there isnt any way to pair my mouse? Any way to learn the passcode?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

As far as I know,no. The way to pair your mouse must be in user manual, did you read it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Yes i read it many times, it does not have it. Are you sure there is not any problem with extmou? I googled and found one user that got it work with 0000 and an iphone user that had the same problem with me but when the developer updated the app worked fine.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Yes, I am sure, you have problem with bluetooth stack. Are you able to pair other devices with your n900?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

I just paired a gps travel recorder.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

I can't get my mouse work. I tried two mouses, and both of them can move the coursor, but neither of them can click or scroll anything.
Moreover, both of them are extremely sensible and quite unusable.

I'm using h-e-n on pr1.3, with a logitech usb mouse and a trust usb mouse.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Did you restart after installing extmou?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

No, I didn't.
Now it works, thank you :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

I wrote this on the 'testing' page but it got a bit wordy!

I connected the mouse to the N900 just fine via usb. I am obviuously using PK v0.46 and h-e-n. I have not tested this with a BT mouse.

The module still needs a little work but it does allow a mouse to be used in place of a stylus or finger as a means of interacting with Maemo and application software. Good job. Thank you.

The main faults I found were:

- not operational with all software, including fennec 4. I don't know enough to suggest much here, sorry, but I see from your comments in the package page that there's a problem with Qt and GKT. Is there something that could be included in a forthcoming CSSU that could force the pointer out of blank?

- cursor does not go when mouse is unplugged. Might it be possible to have either a widget that runs a killall script or something similar to Easy Debian's button to close LXDE? These ideas plaster over the problem rather than solve it but the pointer would go when the mouse disconnects.

Enhancement(sj are obviuosly to get centre and right buttons and scroll working. All in good time though!

@freemangordon: Just a suggestion, I think you should put a note in the description at the top to say something along the lines of "To use USB input devices, additional modules are required. BT devices will work immediately.". Incidentally, there seems to be ground being made on the kernel front so future versions may evolve from devel yet!

I think if this, your kb app (still to test) and printing can be properly incorporated into this device, the days of my desktop are very limited!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

"enable Extras Development repository and install Mouse Support if using Application Manager. If using CLI package name is extmou."...so i found mouse support..installed it.ran HEN..enumerate...the mouse cursor dint appear..(uninstalled bit hid scripts b4 installing mouse support ..i hab been trying i for over a week now...pendrive connects but y no usb mouse?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Seems you have problem connecting you mouse to n900. Did you try to use full/low speed hostmode? Did you try different mouse?

Anyway it is better to continue this conversation on some of HEN threads, as I do not see problem with extmou. And please provide dmesg log as adviced.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

In some point of discussion She mentioned that mouse worked for a second, then stopped. That's why i told her that it may be worth to ask here. Nevertheless, no chance of help without correct debug info, cause now I'm confused if She is actually stuck on enumerating process, or her mouse isn't accepted by extmou.

so, as freemangordon said, provide dmesg logs that i asked for and please stay with this problem in one thread, unless there will be 100% conclusion that problem belongs to another one.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Hi freemangordon. Maybe that Genius Micro Traveler 900BT Super Mini Bluettoth have a problem. Only pair ok, show cursor but not work in my N900. Please I need your help.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

After extensive testing, I got some issue to report. Sometimes, extmou "lock" in cursor enabled mode, no matter what. enumerating in H-E-N doesn't help, and I'm quite sure it's not a H-E-N problem, because I got extmou pop-up communicate "disconnected <name_of_device_here>" (or something like that).

The funniest thing is that - quite opposite to what is written in first page - most of the times, H-E-N recognize properly, when device is disconnected by removing it physically - extmou also get this info, and disconnect properly + turn cursor mode off. But, when something gets "stuck", there is no other way than reboot (or disabling cursor via xterm - BTW, freemangordon, which is preffered method to disable such stuck cursor? Some .sh script from extmou - invoked manually via xterm - or editing some gconf2 setting?)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

You would help me a lot, if you could guide me to get this keybd working! I am trying for weeks already :(

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

Hi freemangordon. I had to buy other bluetooth mouse, after to paring I had stoped cursor movements, so finally I install kerner v48. After uninstall and install extmou, restarted and works flawlessly. Now I'm happy with my bluetooth mouse. Thanks. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

i'm reporting, my A4Tech wireless mouse (not BT mouse) work flawessly :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
 

How did you get it to work if it's not BT? Using the associated USB dongle?
