I just want to bounce an idea here, probably discussed already elsewhere.

I would like to make my laptop keyboard an external bluetooth keyboard/mouse to a PS3 or any system that can take a bluetooth keyboard/mouse. My laptop runs Ubuntu. Somebody suggested BlueMaemo since its all linux and I started poking around a bit.

First is it possible to do that or is it something too crazy ?

I managed to set up an environment to compile stuff and I am new to maemo, python and the bluetooth stack. I got to a point where when I run I get these errors.

Code:

warning: x11-16 is not supported, fallback to x11



*** ECORE ERROR: Ecore Magic Check Failed!!!

*** IN FUNCTION: ecore_evas_data_set()

  Input handle pointer is NULL!

*** NAUGHTY PROGRAMMER!!!

*** SPANK SPANK SPANK!!!

*** Now go fix your code. Tut tut tut!

I guess someone with more knowledge on the system would be able to do this setup.

Is anyone interested in doing with this ? Is this the right approach ? Any pointers with the error ?

Lol, nice error message, are you trying to run this inside sbox or directly inside ubuntu ?
Seems that the EFL code can't find a suitable display.
I must warn you that the blueetooth code needs a lot of changes in order to run outside maemo :)

Inside Ubuntu directly. Am I crazy to think this could be possible ? :confused:

Any help/interest in this sort of support ?

cheers

No you're not, it is possible but requires some work. I can't help you much at the moment, lots of stuff to do and also BlueMaemo needs some improvements.

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo

Is it still possible to install this app?

I can't find it in any of the repo's any more :-(

The hardware keyboard doesn't work at all for me. Actually its a relief that its supposed to work, I figured you just went through all the trouble of developing the on-screen keyboard UI and forgot about the real keyboard. :D

Any idea why it wouldn't work? I'm using it as a keyboard for Linux (Kubuntu). The mouse and on-screen keyboard work great.

Thanks.

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo

i have windows 7 home and i can confirm bluemaemo works fine

the game pad function is a little pointless tho imho, as we have no multi touch, but the mouse/keyboard function is excellent!
