... and here it is - support for Bluetooth/USB mouse attached to n900


FUNCTIONALITY - fixes broken mouse support in evdev driver. Shows cursor when mouse is connected and hides it when disconnected.

INSTALLATION - enable Extras Development repository and install Mouse Support if using Application Manager. If using CLI package name is extmou. This installs xserver-xorg-input-evdev-mouse and libxmuu1 packages too.

You have to restart your n900 after installation so updated evdev driver to be activated

You should remove bt-hid-scripts and Patched x.org mouse driver packages (if installed) before installation, otherwise it will fail.

CONFIGURATION - no configuration is needed.

WARNING - usual warnings for using software from extras-devel apply. You've been warned .

UNINSTALLATION - using Application Manager

NOTE - current version of h-e-n does not detect device removal, so if you just close h-e-n with mouse attached, the cursor will remain visible. A workaround procedure is:

1. disconnect mouse
2. press enumerate

NOTE2 - if your bluetooth mouse pairs and connects ok, but stops working after a while you may try to install kernel-power v46 or above. It has a patch which most probably will help you to solve the problem.
