 Posted: Sat Apr 23, 2005 11:03 am Post subject: Apple Wireless Boot |
 |
|
I resently got my macmini with a DBT-120 Bluetooth dongle and Apple Wireless Keyboard/Mouse.
I am not new to gentoo, nor to gentoo on PPC, but I can not figure this one out:
If/then I get my apple wireless mouse/keyboard working in Gentoo I have a problem:
How do I be able to press l or x on the yaboot start-screen when the keyboard isn't working? (right now I have a borrowed keyboard)
In linux I can solve this by changing the boot-order and put osx first, but if Im in OSX and want to reboot to linux?
Thanks in advance
Lejban

This works for me on my powerbook: I am able to press X on my BT keyboard. Maybe the trick is to switch to bt dongle from hci mode to hid mode!?
for more information!

thanks.
I got mouse and keyboard working now...but it didn't do the trick. I think I just have to plug in an usb-keyboard thenever I decide to switch os. (which souldn't be often)
| Code: | buh root # hid2hci -h
hid2hci - Bluetooth HID to HCI mode switching utility
Usage:
hid2hci [options]
Options:
-h, --help Display help
-q, --quiet Don't display any messages
-0, --tohci Switch to HCI mode (default)
-1, --tohid Switch to HID mode
buh root # hid2hci
No devices in HCI mode found
buh root # hid2hci -1
Switching device 0a12:0001 to HID mode failed (Broken pipe) |

OK, then did you pair your kb with your mac mini under Mac OS X? On my pb the kb works even without bthid-daemon process under linux - also during boot-up (yaboot etc.). But I guess your kb is already paired with your mac mini under Mac OS, isn't it?
Another think you should try is to update your bt-firmware under Mac OS (via Mac OS software update).

OK, There where a missunderstanding here: I got a D-link DBT-120 USB-to-Bluetooth dongle, not bluetooth IN the mac mini.
Thanks anyway
