Hi,

I ported mx5000lib[1] .NET library to Linux and I made mx5000tools[2].

It currently supports most operations that control the content of the screen. Only 2 operations that SetPoint does on windows are not supported, because I haven't managed to make them work. One is to display images, I can decode the sent data[3], but when I try re-sending the same data, it doesn't show up on the screen. The second is to change the content of the menus there again, the keyboard doesn't seem to be responsive to the commands that I send.

It currently only works in HID mode because the bluez code does not yet support full HID with hiddev.

I should have a homepage and a SVN tree for it soon, I'll post the address when I set it up.

How DID you get it into HCI mode?

good work, i'll try it out tomorrow. maybe i can help figure out this image issue. I'd hate to be stuck in hid mode after all the searching i did to get the damn thing into hci mode though...

honestly? i found a patch in the archives that was actually the reverse of what was needed to switch it into hci mode. i'm not exactly sure what happened with that but i wrote a patch that was the basic reverse of said patch and tested it... its in 3.7 i think... definitely in CVS. I've been happily using hci mode ever since... it isn't perfect however. sometimes the hci device needs a reset to work correctly but not always. also sometimes i have to run hid2hci multiple times. It's a pain in the butt but since I never reboot my linux box it's a rare necessity. i'm not experienced with driver hacking so i can't be much more help there... but I wasn't prepared to be stuck in hid mode after spending $230 CAD on the keyboard set.

In reply to Douglas Ward

New version:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~tester/dist/mx5000tools-0.1.1.tar.gz

I adds a daemon that translated some hid codes that are not understood by the Linux kernel into usable ones (using uinput). And it also adds support to display images. There is also a netpbm based function to transform pbm files into the image format accepted by the keyboard.
