I nevered tried p1, but I patched 2.6.15-r1 with p2 and am having no problems (no panics and dinovo is working).
| Code: |
$ uname -a
Linux morpheus 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 16 09:47:56 EST 2006 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
$ hidd
00:07:61:23:CE:A7 Logitech Bluetooth Mouse [046d:b001] connected
00:07:61:24:0B:EC Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard [046d:b303] connected
|
Hope you have similar luck with p2. |

I'm lucky too. The new bluez.org patch-2.6.15-mh2.gz fixed it

Ho-hum... I've got a problem with my diNovo. It will connect using bluetooth, I'm typing on it right now, but for the love of God won't do so upon boot and in the GDM login screen.

Hi red-wolf76,
have you already edit the /etc/init.d/bluetooth init-script ?
Do you have dual boot with MiCro$oft OS?
Does it only fails with gdm? Then give kdm a try!
Kind regards,
Sibov

Not sure when this occured but I have noticed the following issues lately:
F1-F12 - not working
suspend, home, email, finder, volume-up, volume-down, mute - not working
media key - works
play/pause, skip, back, stop - work
Anyone else seeing this problem?
Edit: Okay, I figured out that the F-Lock key is now working so I can switch between F1-F12 and the New-My Music functionality. However, the other keys mentioned abover are still not working. Although they do appear properly in Gnome Keyboard Shortcuts -- pressing the Email key when setting a shortcut brings up XF86Mail. This makes me think I broke something somewhere, but I am having some difficulty figuring out where to look.
Edit #2: It seems this isn't a problem with the keyboard. I assigned other keys to volume up/down, etc. actions in Gnome and they are not able to control the settings either. Also setting mute button to "Open Panel" works fine... |

The usual chicken-waving. Restarting bluetooth and performing a hid2hci and hidd --search does things it should have already done. 
And technically I dual boot with Win2K, but I haven't done so for rather a longish time. No need to  Besides, it doesn't work either. 
It doesn't matter whether it's GDM or not. I've tried booting into console only - no dice. There was something in this thread about making some udev rules that I haven't looked into yet. But I think it has something to do with the recent update I ran. Something changed in the bluetooth stuff, I think and it worked before...

I am not seeing the issues you are having - here is what I am running for comparison:
| Code: |
net-wireless/bluez-libs-2.25
net-wireless/bluez-utils-2.25
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1 (with the second 2.6.15 patch from the bluez website)
sys-fs/udev-079-r1
|
Did you recently turn encryption or authentication on? Any issues with the PIN (do you have to enter it)? |

That's another thing, I've not quite fathomed. I dont have to fiddle with the PIN. Never did have to. I'm not at my box and it's not running (damn you, Swine German Energy Companies!  ) but I'll let you know which versions I'm running.
What I know I have, is the device tarball turned on and no special udev-rule. Do you have one of those? That might explain why I have to do a search before the Receiver will pick up stuff (devnode not created on boot).
I think I'll try that first thing this evening. Turning off the tarball!

I don't have any special udev rules for the dinovo setup. Customation that I have done:
Using meeuw's modified bluepinstub (for PIN -- see page 3)...although I currently don't have auth or encryption turned on.
Whenever I modify items with the keyboard I tend to get it messed up for a couple reboots, but I usually reread this thread and follow this procedure to get it working where it autoconnects:
- reboot and ssh into my workstation
- click the connect button on the mouse
- run hidd --search
-- the mouse starts working
- repeat this process for the keyboard and media pad
if things get really whacky I delete the following files (you may just want to mv the files just in case):
/var/lib/bluetooth/<your-hub's-bluetooth-address>/*
I then repeat the procedure outlined above. |

I'll look into that tonight. Interestingly, I think I don't even have to press any buttons on the devices themselves, I just do a hidd --search and they're all there, waving at me!

Ho hum. I thought wrongly, it appears.
Voodoo consists of:
- running hid2hci
- hidd --search
- pressing the buttons
After that, the keyboard works - and keeps working.

Hi Red-Wolf76,
please double check your /etc/init.d/bluetooth script it must have the line
| Code: | | --exec /usr/bin/hidd -- ${HIDD_OPTIONS} --server |
maybe there 's a typo within the line or above
regards,
Sibov

Hey, Sibov. Just went to check and it's in there, as required.
I think I fixed it, however. I changed to | Code: | # Security Manager mode
# none - Security manager disabled
# auto - Use local PIN for incoming connections
# user - Always ask user for a PIN
#
security auto; |
in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf and surely enough after an /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart keyboard and mouse came to life. The MediaPad will go to sleep, but automatically connect, when prodded with a pointy stick.
Now, I'll check whether that solved the boot-up problem as well...

Bloody 'Ell!
I have to boot with an extra keyboard and restart bluetooth from the console before everything will work. I'm stumped...

hi, i fixed these problems be deactivating dbus pin helper.
i noticed that when setting dbus pin helper the hcid won't get started by the init script. commenting the line it started without a problem.
hope that helps
edit:
just noticed that the problem with dbus is, that dbus is started *after* bluetooth is started because it doesn't depend on dbus. so maybe the easy fix is to edit /etc/init.d/bluetooth like so:
| Code: |
depend() {
after coldplug dbus
}
|
edit2:
removed need dbus in favour of after dbus

Hey, that could explain it. I think I'll try that tonight at the box.
I'll let you know.
EDIT: Duh... Didn't do anything but now it works. Didn't even update the script like you said... Help! My Gentoo is Windowsifying itself!

|

for me it was necessary to set the sleep-time in the bluetooth init-script from 1 to 2 seconds....
with the defaultsetting (sleep 1 second after hid2hci command) the hidd and the sdpd fails.
----------------------------
i use kernel 2.6.15 with newest bluetoothpatch

I finaly have hid2hci find my dongle and it seems the bluetooth functionality works.. Thanks to an update on linux.yes.nu containing a patch for hid2hci for dinovo laser support.
But I now can't get my keyboard, -pad nor mouse connected.
I followed al instructions on linux.yes.nu and on this forum, including the 2.6.15-mh2 patch.
But now when I try to use my keyboard, every key I pres I get this error in my /var/log/messages:
hidd: HID create error 2 (No such file or directory)
since I have no Idea what file or directory isn't found, I ran
# strace hidd -n -server
which showed me this at the time of the error:
open("/var/lib/bluetooth/00:07:61:41:F5:80/hidd", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
I checked and indeed there is no /var/lib/bluetooth directory, so I created it, but still no difference.
Does anyone know what this means? why it isn't working and how I have to get it working? |

I installed my diNovo Media Desktop using this Tutorial: http://linux.yes.nu/diNovo/
Now with x11 7.0, the special keys don't seem to work. Any idea?  |

Chances are, you overwrote your X keyboard config files when you upgraded, or they may alternatvely have moved.
There's a section here on including the diNovo amongst the keyboards you can pick. Try re-doing that.
