I wrote this on the 'testing' page but it got a bit wordy!

I connected the mouse to the N900 just fine via usb. I am obviuously using PK v0.46 and h-e-n. I have not tested this with a BT mouse.

The module still needs a little work but it does allow a mouse to be used in place of a stylus or finger as a means of interacting with Maemo and application software. Good job. Thank you.

The main faults I found were:

- not operational with all software, including fennec 4. I don't know enough to suggest much here, sorry, but I see from your comments in the package page that there's a problem with Qt and GKT. Is there something that could be included in a forthcoming CSSU that could force the pointer out of blank?

- cursor does not go when mouse is unplugged. Might it be possible to have either a widget that runs a killall script or something similar to Easy Debian's button to close LXDE? These ideas plaster over the problem rather than solve it but the pointer would go when the mouse disconnects.

Enhancement(sj are obviuosly to get centre and right buttons and scroll working. All in good time though!

@freemangordon: Just a suggestion, I think you should put a note in the description at the top to say something along the lines of "To use USB input devices, additional modules are required. BT devices will work immediately.". Incidentally, there seems to be ground being made on the kernel front so future versions may evolve from devel yet!

I think if this, your kb app (still to test) and printing can be properly incorporated into this device, the days of my desktop are very limited!

"enable Extras Development repository and install Mouse Support if using Application Manager. If using CLI package name is extmou."...so i found mouse support..installed it.ran HEN..enumerate...the mouse cursor dint appear..(uninstalled bit hid scripts b4 installing mouse support ..i hab been trying i for over a week now...pendrive connects but y no usb mouse?

Seems you have problem connecting you mouse to n900. Did you try to use full/low speed hostmode? Did you try different mouse?

Anyway it is better to continue this conversation on some of HEN threads, as I do not see problem with extmou. And please provide dmesg log as adviced.

In some point of discussion She mentioned that mouse worked for a second, then stopped. That's why i told her that it may be worth to ask here. Nevertheless, no chance of help without correct debug info, cause now I'm confused if She is actually stuck on enumerating process, or her mouse isn't accepted by extmou.

so, as freemangordon said, provide dmesg logs that i asked for and please stay with this problem in one thread, unless there will be 100% conclusion that problem belongs to another one.

Hi freemangordon. Maybe that Genius Micro Traveler 900BT Super Mini Bluettoth have a problem. Only pair ok, show cursor but not work in my N900. Please I need your help.

After extensive testing, I got some issue to report. Sometimes, extmou "lock" in cursor enabled mode, no matter what. enumerating in H-E-N doesn't help, and I'm quite sure it's not a H-E-N problem, because I got extmou pop-up communicate "disconnected <name_of_device_here>" (or something like that).

The funniest thing is that - quite opposite to what is written in first page - most of the times, H-E-N recognize properly, when device is disconnected by removing it physically - extmou also get this info, and disconnect properly + turn cursor mode off. But, when something gets "stuck", there is no other way than reboot (or disabling cursor via xterm - BTW, freemangordon, which is preffered method to disable such stuck cursor? Some .sh script from extmou - invoked manually via xterm - or editing some gconf2 setting?)

You would help me a lot, if you could guide me to get this keybd working! I am trying for weeks already

Hi freemangordon. I had to buy other bluetooth mouse, after to paring I had stoped cursor movements, so finally I install kerner v48. After uninstall and install extmou, restarted and works flawlessly. Now I'm happy with my bluetooth mouse. Thanks.

i'm reporting, my A4Tech wireless mouse (not BT mouse) work flawessly

How did you get it to work if it's not BT? Using the associated USB dongle?
