Hi,
Is it somehow possible to use a mobile phone with bluetooth / ir as input device??
Found bemused which works quite well; but this seems to be pretty out of date. Is there any equivalent newer program?
Best regards. |

Yep.
Try the HIDP (Human Interface Device Protocol) thing in your kernel. If your phone support the HID profile you may get it to work.

Ok  But how to get the mobile in this mode? Some special software (phone-dependent?) has to be used? |

I think it has to be built into the phone. My old Sony Ericsson K700i had this feature. Perhaps you can run some add-on java software for phones that don't have this bluetooth profile built in, but you'd have to search for this software on your own, as I didn't come across any.

I am pretty sure, that i only had to enable hid protocol in bluez like antek said and then i could use the remote control feature of my phone (sony ericsson k750i). This can be found in the entertainment section.
I can move the mouse, left and right click and other things with the standard features of my phone.
