Hi all, I have a C-BOX 134 system that I'm using as a mythtv frontend. It's running a VIA Nehemiah 1Ghz processor, which with XvMC can play dvds and ripped movies just fine, but doesn't have a whole lot of horse power for anything else.
I recently received a bluetooth keyboard that I'm trying to get working with the system. I can get it working with bluez using the old-daemons use flag and manually running 'hidd --search' while the keyboard is in discoverable mode, so I know it will work, but I'm having a lot of difficulty setting it up. In order to get the keyboard into discoverable mode you have to press a button with a paperclip. Also since it's not paired yet, when the keyboard enters a "sleep" mode, it won't reattach to the pc when it wakes up. So I can't just add the hidd command to the startup scripts and have it work. I've tried to set up the /etc/init.d/hidd startup script, but it doesn't seem to want to connect to the keyboard that way. I've tried bluez-libs/bluez-utils versions 2.25 and 3.36, and bluez 4.39. The 2.x versions gave me compile errors with some undefined variables. 3.x and 4.x seem to work ok, but I can't make sense of the documentation for either one, and the examples that are provided always error out. Does anyone here have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse setup and working? Or does anyone know where a good, working walkthrough/howto/wiki on how to set one up? Thanks in advance. Chris
