Dear users,

on my brandnew 2007.0 system with kernel 2.6. i got several problems using a microsoft bluetooth keyboard:

Code:

localhost ~ # hidd --search
Can't open HIDP control socket: Protocol not supported

localhost ~ # rfcomm
Can't open RFCOMM control socket: Protocol not supported


I think the problem is that i can't activate "Device Drivers" > "HID Devices" > "Generic HID support" in the kernel. This ist marked like "---".
The rest of the bluetooth installation like configuring the kernel i made like shown in the "Gentoo Bluetooth Installation Guide" http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/bluetooth-guide.xml which worked without the above signified problems.

Does anybody have an idea what to do?
Thanks!

"---" means its already activated, forced by some other kernel option.

Have you activated L2CAP protocol support in your kernel? In my menuconfig, HIDP and RFCOMM show up under that heading.

Excellent, that works!

As shown in the "bluetooth guide" i just activated this as <M> module, with the normal activation <*> the protocol is supported and my mouse and keyboard are fine.

Thank you - Vielen Dank!

:o Ooh, have to try that in my kernel tonight. Maybe this'll fix my DiNovo Media Desktop.
