 |

If you don't want use hidd because is deprecated but you can still download with USE old-daemons, you can follow this steps to configure your bluetooth keyboard/mouse
0. Add to your kernel the necessary bluetooth modules (see the oficial documentation)
1. install net-wireless/bluez (you will need USE test-programs for the scripts seen below)
| Code: | # echo "net-wireless/bluez test-programs" >> /etc/portage/package.use
# emerge net-wireless/bluez |
2. start daemon bluetooth
| Code: | | # /etc/init.d/bluetooth start |
3. Know the device name of your local bluetooth device
| Code: | # hcitool dev
Devices:
hci0 00:15:83:14:61:94 |
ok! it's hci0
4. Find MAC address of your remote device
| Code: | # hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:07:61:F7:C8:D6 Apple Wireless Keyboard |
ok! it's 00:07:61:F7:C8:D6
5. Now, all you need to do is pair (with simple-agent script) and use the Input D-Bus interface to connect (with bluez-test-input script)
| Code: | #simple-agent hci0 00:07:61:F7:C8:D6
RequestPinCode (/org/bluez/23001/hci0/dev_00_07_61_F7_C8_D6)
Enter PIN Code: 1234
<ENTER THE PIN CODE IN YOUR REMOTE DEVICE>
Release
New device (/org/bluez/23001/hci0/dev_00_07_61_F7_C8_D6)
#bluez-test-input connect 00:07:61:F7:C8:D6 |
Ok! it's working
The steps would be exactly the same for a bluetooth headset, except you'd use test-audio instead of test-input
6. Now if you want to make the remote device be able to connect back to you without user authorization:
| Code: | | # bluez-test-device trusted 00:07:61:F7:C8:D6 yes |
Good luck! |
