well done f2thak! this is all comming along nicely. can't wait for a quick install for the bt mouse, i'm sick of getting things wrong and flashing : ( . keep up the great work guys.

if someone can improve it, be my guest.. atm the terminal window stays open but if you press menu button it disappears.......

okay so ive got my mouse

but... ive got it paired, but no movement..! got fully visible cursor (followed post #1)

I do hidd --search but get

HID create error 13 (permission denied)

I didnt install bluez-compat right, dunno how!

@f2thak : Copy attached file to /home/user/ extract it here and move hidd file from /home/user/usr/bin/ to /home/user/.. then in terminal run sudo gainroot and run search using hidd file (./hidd --search)


I think, i've installed everything correctly but when i run
./hidd --search it searching a while and after that it shows me message : "No devices in range visible" I have BT switched on, and my mouse is Logitech M215. Can someone help me pls?

If mouse gets paired but no movement, you don't need hidd (methinks). I am pretty sure you need to replace bluetooth.ko in order to have movement.

what gives?

I flashed, started all over.
now i cant even install libxmuu1 - no installation candidate??

did this but it says "hidd not found"
put hidd file in /home/user

okay sorry to flood thread but I have had SUCCESS with a CHEAP mouse!!



works GREAT, almost NO lag... connects with a few clicks after boot

But Ive noticed when mouse is connected, I cannot access my phone thru SSH over wifi....

also the thwo *.debs installed showed errors, they have dependency issues..

this is also not 100% correct but I did this and it was the only thing that worked for me with the following mouse.


HOW TO:

1. bought this CHEAP ($25AUD approx) BT mouse

2. flashed phone (after failed attempts, due to kernel issues)

3. followed 1st post of this thread (NOTE: I had to "chmod +x xsetroot" in xterminal, in file directory)

4. use freemangordons bt.ko file (ensure it overwrites current bluetooth.ko file in "/lib/modules/2.6.28-omap1" by default - if you have stock kernel(s)

5. put the hidd file in this post in /home/user/ (this seemed to do nothing)

6. for some reason i had to install libxmuu1 by d/lding *.debs and in xterminal
also I dpkg'd bluez-compat
both show errors, but are needed.

7. did the following - show mousecursor shortcut
this creates a nice shortcut to show mouse cursor (I use on boot usually )

8. Reboot

9. Activate BT, add device -> pair mouse

10. Click / connect mouse... ? and use!



I love it !! shame I cannot use shh->wifi at the same time

Just a note, I was able to successfully pair my Microsoft Notebook Mouse 5000 using the hcitool and dbus-send commands from this post in the BT keyboard thread.

So the debian bluez-compat hidd binary is not needed. That's good news.
