Can you give any pointers for this? What did you have to change?

Sure, I put the following in /etc/bluetooth/hid.conf :

Code:

device 00:60:D1:00:09:0D {
        name "Bluetooth Mouse";
        auth disable;
        encrypt disable;
}

Obviously your ID will change with the device, but once I put the disable lines in it stopped disconencting every few seconds and reconnecting.

Sadly, it's still not working for the main reason I wanted the mouse. I got it primarily to use with MoneyDance so I can update/review my finances on the road, but apparently Icedtea6 doesn't like it for some reason. I behaves much like the browser, where I can see the cursor in the title bar, but if I scroll into the window it vanishes, and clicks don't register.

When I get some time I may try some of the tricks suggested here on Icedtea to see if I can hack that to work. Without it I can still view the ledgers, add new checks and what not, but I can't do advanced things like see matching transactions.

I tried using this app with no success. I tried pairing my Logitech Mediaboard Pro before I found out that Maemo doesn't support the HID profile and it NEVER even showed up on my list when searching for devices. I use a Bluetooth Pioneer car radio for playing music and phone calls, for moving music to my device, and I'd like to use it for my keyboard and mouse(this will work great when hooked up to the video out). So, I downloaded the app and selected it. It launched and then nothing happened. I was returned to my desktop with no running app. And then tried to pair the Mediaboard again and it still is not in the list of found devices when I put it in pairing mode.

Am I doing something wrong?

I still have the problem of language on the keyboard. Spanish is not supported, it gives error.

The mouse is detected but goes crazy when you move the mouse pointer.

I'm trying to connect my Logitech DiNovo Media Keyboard (NOT the newest one) and I get odd results: I can't make it do anything buy alphabet, shift, period, and comma. Capitals are possible, but you have to double-tap Shift to turn it on, then double-tap to turn it off. Tap-hold-type gets the first letter capitalized. I imagine part of it is that it's not quite a standard keyboard, but I don't know for sure. I'll try my old Apple BT keyboard and we'll see what happens.

Other issue: If I let the N900 go to sleep, I can't reconnect the keyboard without rebooting the device. Am I doing something wrong?

Anyway, thanks for this. I'm ready to go out and buy one of them foldable keyboards just for this. It's already that good.

I'll try a mouse later.

Have you tried specifying other keyboard models (pc101, pc102, pc103, pc104, pc105)?

Not yet. I'll see what I can do.

I have no experience in writing scripts so if you answer my question please take it down to a level that I can understand. I have the think outside keyboard which has been verified to work perfectly with my Dell x51v. I have installed the BT HID Connect application on my Nokia N900. I go into BT (New Devices) and it discovers my keyboard but when I attempt the pairing the flashing light on my keyboard stops flashing and I ultimately end with an unsuccessful connection. I have added the xbk-chinook directory by following instructions contained in this forum but I don't understand the scripts. Is there anything obvious with my problem that you could break down in detail to a level that I can understand or at least provide a corrective instruction set that could possibly enable me to pair my keyboard with the N900. I know the equipment will work because many of the users in this forum have done this successfully. I would appreciate it if any of you experienced users would have the patience to hold my hand through this procedure!
