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?

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.

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.

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 : )

So the debian bluez-compat hidd binary is not needed. That's good news.
an explination of how-to-do-this would be great

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.
