 Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2004 11:47 am Post subject: HOW-TO connect Microsoft Bluetooth desktop setup |
 |
|
Here it is. Straight what I did. I couldn't get kernel 2.6.0 and hotplug to agree with the microsoft wireless transceiver (many usbdevfs_control failed errors and hanging systems), maybe somebody else can shed some light.
Alright, here goes:
1. Make sure you have a kernel that works (2.4.20 or later) and find the bluetooth section. In make menuconfig, enable bluetooth,
(Usually Drivers->Network->Bluetooth), usb hid support, and you might also want hotplug.
2. Make all options as module first, if possible, otherwise, as built in.
3. Make and install kernel and modules (reboot if necessary and don't forget about nvidia drivers or alsa).
4.
(emerge -s bluez to find them)
5.
(this seems to have bad results for me on 2.6.0 vanilla but not on 2.4.23)
6. Download the appropriate bthid file from here:
http://klausler.com/msbtkb-linux.html
7. Extract to a new directory, and modify make.fake to match your kernel version.
8.
in that directory. Copy the fake.o and update:
| Code: | #cp fake.o /lib/modules/yourversion/kernel/drivers/bluetooth
#modules-update |
9.
| Code: | #mknod -m 200 /dev/input/bluetooth-in c $FAKE_MAJOR_NUMBER 0
#chown [yourusername] /dev/input/bluetooth-in |
(where fake major number is from make.fake (250 by default). See the README for more information).
10.
| Code: | | #modprobe l2cap bluez fake hci_usb |
(and add these to your /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel file for auto loading next reboot)
11. Plug in your transceiver and put in batteries to accessories.
12. Check dmesg for something about hid added (your bluetooth base).
13.
| Code: | | #/etc/init.d/bluetooth start |
14. Verify:
shows hci0 is UP (this is your bluetooth wireless network).
15. Here's the tricky part: Reset your devices by holding down the reset buttons underneith for several (5+) seconds (sometimes it takes a few tries). Verify devices are found with the command:
.
16. Then, in a console run
| Code: | | $./bthid -v -v -n -s |
twice (once for the mouse once for the keyboard), starting the input daemon. Your input should now be running. If the bthid command returns errors or device busy or permission denied or device shutdown, then proceed to step 15 and try again. Once one succeeds you don't need to reset the device until next boot.
17. You should now have a device in /etc/input/mouseX, which is new. You can:
| Code: | | #cat /dev/input/mice |
and move the mouse to see that it works.
18. Set that mouse up in to XF86Config as here
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=21251
19. Restart X. (bthid will continue to run until it has been killed or the computer shuts down).
20. Learn about imwheel and hotkeys to use other functions on your extended buttons. Now you're done.
Right now, I'm looking for a way to avoid running bthid -s every startup and also pressing the reset buttons every time I restart my computer (so then I can remove my old keyboard). I would appreciate it if anybody could shed some light on the matter.
The performance, I'd say, isn't as good as my Logitech mx500 (slight choppiness--though this may improve with new versions of software), however, the keyboard is more than adequate. I have not yet tested the full potential of the batteries.
Enjoy. Lemme know if I skipped a step and enjoy.

Had to edit the Makefile, now you don't need to press the connect buttons!

You need to put
LOCAL_INCS =-I /usr/src/linux-2.6.3-gentoo-r1/include
in the MakeFile
It should work after that  |

You have an error in your MakeFile
When you specify your kernel path, you need to put -I /usr/src/linux/include |

Is there any one that can help me.
The bluez is compiled as modules
Is there any other solution to get the ms keyboard and mouse to work with linux.
I have tested, and my bluetooth is working.
If i use the gnome bluetooth admin i can search and find the ms mouse and my P800 phone.

Please forget my post, it is of sort "RTFM" and ambiguous translations of menu items to other languages, german in my case. If i set Bluetooth "Erkennbar" instaead of "Ein" the P800 is recognized. I thought "Ein" would include "Erkennbar", but it did not.
Sorry, Valentin. |

Has any one been able to get the Apple bluetooth keyboard working? I have the 2.6.6 kernel and I can't seem to get things going...
| Code: |
root@GentooBox /home/patrick # /etc/init.d/bluetooth-hid restart
* Stopping Bluetooth HID and HCI daemons... [ ok ]
* Starting up Bluetooth HCI daemon... [ ok ]
* Starting up Bluetooth HID daemon... [ ok ]
patrick@GentooBox ~ $ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:0A:95:3A:63:E4 Apple Wireless Keyboard
patrick@GentooBox ~ $ bthid -a -e -v 00:0A:95:3A:63:E4
bthid[15391]: child 15392 terminated abnormally (status 0x100)
|
Doing bthid -s doesn't seem to do anything either. I am typing in the PIN on the apple keyboard after doing bthid -s and hitting enter but things still don't work.
I feel like I am missing something simple here.....
Thank you for any help! |
