[ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
... and here it is - support for Bluetooth/USB mouse attached to n900
FUNCTIONALITY - fixes broken mouse support in evdev driver. Shows cursor when mouse is connected and hides it when disconnected. INSTALLATION - enable Extras Development repository and install Mouse Support if using Application Manager. If using CLI package name is extmou. This installs xserver-xorg-input-evdev-mouse and libxmuu1 packages too. You have to restart your n900 after installation so updated evdev driver to be activated You should remove bt-hid-scripts and Patched x.org mouse driver packages (if installed) before installation, otherwise it will fail. CONFIGURATION - no configuration is needed. WARNING - usual warnings for using software from extras-devel apply. You've been warned :) . UNINSTALLATION - using Application Manager NOTE - current version of h-e-n does not detect device removal, so if you just close h-e-n with mouse attached, the cursor will remain visible. A workaround procedure is: 1. disconnect mouse 2. press enumerate NOTE2 - if your bluetooth mouse pairs and connects ok, but stops working after a while you may try to install kernel-power v46 or above. It has a patch which most probably will help you to solve the problem. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support
wow.. it works just great.. i had been waiting for a simplified solution like this. the mouse cursor disappears when the bluetooth mouse is disconnected. nice
i just have following issues: 1. text selection not available using mouse in leafpad 2. scrolling not available in microb browser thanks freeman and others involved in this bluetooth mouse support project |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support
Yes, microb just don't like mice :D
re leafpad - maybe you should ask its maintainer or file a bug |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support
sweeeeeeeet cant wait to try
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support
I'll add auto enumeration after the application is closed (and I might add a signal that's sent to system dbus at each h-e-n event)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support
Hello !
Great work (both h-e-n team & freemangordon) ! h-e-n works extkbd works (tested with 5 different usb-keyboards & nokia su-8w) but I am a bit confused regarding bt mouse: Do I have to install the following .... azerty1/N900-BlueMouseSupport.tar.gz f2thak/mouseshortcut.zip .... prior to install your Mouse Support package? If the previous two routines were installed do i have to cleanup those beforehand? Many thanks for your efforts ! PS. I have removed bt-hid-scripts DS. --------- Removed the routines above ..... ..... and Installed Mouse Support package - Everything ok ! |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support
Not sure what those packages contain, but most probably yes, you have to remove them.
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support
Any fix for the scrolling? Can it be fixed?
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support
You mean in microb? No way, sorry, tablet-browser-ui is closed source. Or at least it is out of my competence

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support
If I change evdev to mimic mouse as it is touch screen it will break mouse behaviour in all other applications. If you wish you can try it, sources are in repo. For me it is much easy to use different browser. BTW right now I am writing this from within microb, using BT keyboard and BT mouse attached to my n900 and using keyboad to scroll

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support
Big tthanks for making this package mate.
You should eventually add the proper package name in your post for faster finding... Code:
extmou - Provides support for Bluetooth/USB mouse attached to N900. Greetz, ..::J4ZZ::.. |

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
Works like a charm, nice work!
PS. How/where to change mouse sensitivity, cursor shape etc ? |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
You can't :) . Maybe I should include such functionality in some future version.
|
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
Haven't tried this one, but Keyboard Support is absolutely fantastic freemangordan :D
Any suggestions for a bluetooth mouse? Can I just buy any or are there differences in bluetooth standards or similar issues I might face? Thx and regards ;) |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
great.. awaitin future updates..
also, since right click has no use till now can u please make right click to be sane as ctrl-backspace |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
@superbelow: I think the best way is to install Mouse Support and to go to shop carrying your n900. There you can try different mice.
@leojab: hm.. interesting idea, but i don't know how hard it is to be implemented. And actually there are some applications (thinking of opera and fennec) which use right-click . |

OK, for those who miss mouse in microb, install and try QTMWeb, browser in attached .deb. It should be desktop-like, tabbed brorser. IT IS ONLY ABOUT 50 PERCENT READY :D , but flash works, even in fullscreen. If enough of you try it and like it I will start a project in garage hoping that some other developers will contribute to it too, it is just not a project for a single person.

My logitech mx1000 bt mouse worked with bt-hid-scripts. After following your instructions on the first post, my mouse doesn't work anymore. It pairs ok but the bt icon stays white. (I did uninstall bt-hid-scripts in case you are wondering). Does this work without h-e-n? Because I see no mention of having h-e-n installed for this to work. I also installed h-e-n but the mouse still doesn't work. Could you please be a little bit more explanatory this time?! Thanks! |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mouse Support - extmou
OK, you don't need h-e-n for bluetooth mouse to work, it is for USB. Sorry, by no means I want to ignore you, just did not understand from your first post that you have a problem connecting your mouse. extmou does not have any user interface, it is supposed to do exactly what is written on first page, section functionality. You may try to install extkbd, where in UI there is an option to manually connect paired BT HID devices. I suspect that after first connect all subsequent reconnects will be done automatically.
