| Message-ID | <ArOJX-6rJ-1@gated-at.bofh.it> |
Hello. I'm trying to use this app on my phone to have a spare BT mouse / keyboard combo: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.appground.blek Tested with WIndows on my laptop, it works out of the box, no special settings required beyond pairing. When running Linux on the same system, I can perform the pairing... well, actually, I have to: unless you copy the BT keys from Windows to Linux or viceversa, you'll have to anyway. After the pairing, I can see in the logs that there are 3 new devices (keyboard, mouse, multimedia controls) as input devices but that's it: it doesn't work in parallel with the internal touchpad and keyboard. I've tried both with KDE and on console, no go. Are there any special settings I have to make? Thanks, Andrea.

It just worked in KDE to my surprise. Is the mouse a part of the keyboard or a separate device? These comments are for KDE. I use bluetooth all the time to play audio on bt headphones and through a bt gateway to my HIFI for audio. I've been able to connect a bt headphone and the bt gateway at the same time but I don't think audio worked after that until I disconnected both and then reconnected to just one. So try using just ONE bt device (like the keyboard) and see if that works. If so you may need to get another usb bt device (plugs into your computer) for the mouse. Have you gotten audio through to a bt device? Do you have the bt tray widget visible ... a bt symbol in the tray. If so then you should be able to see what is connected. Make sure only one device is connected. Some devices tend to auto connect after pairing so turn off all bt devices except the one your are testing. You might have to reboot after you are sure just one device is on. There is also an application bluetoothctl that can restart bt devices but it is just as easy to reboot. If there no bt widget in the tray click on the up arrow to bring up the "Status and Notifications" panel and see if bt is there. If so click on bt and enable bt for the system. -- *...Bob*

Also, the bt adapter is embedded in the laptop, no need to have an external adapter in my case. > Have you gotten audio through to a bt device? > Not my use case and at the moment I don't have a headset to test it anyway. > If there no bt widget in the tray click on the up arrow to bring up > the "Status and Notifications" panel and see if bt is there.

You may have a look at the X server configuration. I don't use BT inputs,
but I recall there could be some additional settings in the following
sections, or needed to add those. I'm sure you can find instructions.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

I don't have a server config file, only a snippet which I have added to force taptoclick for the internal touchpad. I'll try adding another one as you suggested and report back once I have also tried a real BT mouse / kbd combo.

I have plugged in a dongle for a wireless keyboard (non BT) and that worked out of the box without restarting. A proper BT kbd / touchpad combo also works as expected, so the Linux configuration seems to be just fine, without any changes. I'll give feedback to the author of the app, we'll see if it can be fixed. Thanks, Andrea.
