droll: please upgrade to version 0.3.
bandario: I gave the wrong command, try bt-dbus-connect.

Any mouse reports? Ironically, my Microsoft mouse isn't responding properly anymore, it has gotten super-sensitive again, even after the new evdev_drv.so. Boy this is frustrating!

btw, running the commands manually, i see

how do i upgrade to 0.3? i just installed the version from the repository.

modified your script slightly. it now shows the keyboard in the dialog.

bluetooth icon turns blue momentarily when i click on OK
then it goes back to white.

however,
1) i see a mouse cursor now when a text field has focus
2) when i tap on keys on the keyboard, the bluetooth icon turns blue for a while

a bit more testing and now the bluetooth icon is permanently blue. didn't do anything else other than jam on the keys of my ThinkOutside keyboard a bit more and ran a few more apps.

but i still don't see any keyboard input.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm any chance we can fix this?

f2thak: to turn off input profile while using sixaxis, gain root and run

set-bt-input off

To switch back to "mouse mode", turn bt input back on (as root again):

set-bt-input on

Thanks Qole. I've been struggling with the keyboard for the past week or so (I could get my iGo Stowaway keyboard to pair with the N900, but I could never get JoHnY's commands to work), so perhaps my issues have nothing to do with the scripts you packaged.

Anyway, my keyboard generally seems to go back to sleep very quickly (I've even tried it with fresh batteries). So, I get the bt icon to turn blue when I type, but it goes back to white very quickly. Likewise, I did check BT menu, and the "disconnect" button is indeed active for the keyboard, but only when I'm typing.

Using the bt-dbus-connect command, I typically get

Finally, similarly to droll, I occasionally see a mouse pointer, and sometimes the bt icon stays permanently blue.

Anyway, thank you very much for getting this packaged. The Stowaway was such a great companion to my n800, hopefully we are on our way to getting it to work reliably with the n900.

after installing this package, my sixaxis refuses to work with my n900 anymore. sigh.......tried uninstalling reinstalling the sixaxis packages and rebooting the phone. nada.

klinglerware: I had a terrible time getting my Stowaway keyboard to pair with my N900, I had to try again and again to find the magic sequence; hit Ctrl+Fn+Fn, set code on N900, type code on keyboard, get it paired... but not really. So try again... and again, trying the Ctrl+Fn+Fn at different points, etc. Finally, the keyboard seemed to stay flashing green, and then I could do the dbus connect scripts.

droll: do the "set-bt-input off" instructions i gave above work for you to get sixaxis working?

nope. doesn't work for me.

i'm starting to think i may have to reflash the device.

Just a warning: I've fixed the mouse problem (I had the patched driver in the wrong directory), but upgrading to the new version may cause your device to reboot!
