Ok,
So I've just rather stupidly gone out and bought one of these for my laptop. Does anyone have any experience in configuring these to use Bluez on FC3 as I don't have the foggiest where to start.

Thanks in advance

Richard

Hi Richard,

with Debian Sid, SuSE 9.2/9.3 and Fedora Core 4 it should work out of the box. For Fedora Core 3 it depends on your bluez-utils version and your running kernel.

Marcel,
I'm currently running 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 as my kernel and have the following bluez packages installed at the moment.

[root@hellontoast ~]# rpm -qa |grep bluez
bluez-libs-2.10-2
bluez-utils-2.10-2
bluez-pin-0.23-3
bluez-hcidump-1.11-1
bluez-bluefw-1.0-6

Hi Richard,

I think you should update them to the latest versions.

Marcel,
These are the latest versions available as part of FC3, do you know of a repository that I could use instead which holds a preferred version? what version should I look for as a minimum?

Thanks

Richard

Right, I've been doing some more digging and it looks like the issue is because the mouse doesn't want to have a pin but I also need to use bluetooth for dial up networking to my phone which does need one.

Is there any way in the hcid.conf to setup another profile so I can set specific settings for this device?

Thanks in advance

Richard

Hi Richard,

if you set yourself to security mode 3 then you have to deal with it. It is not recommended by me and it is also not the default setting.

Marcel,
Forgive my ignorance by what is security mode 3, and how do I change this if required?

I've pasted in my hcid.conf file below in the hope that you can help me get this working as the only config I've done using bluetooth is through the rfcomm.conf to setup dial up networking.

Thanks in advance

Richard

Hi,

and these are off by default. So you already changed it.

Regards
