Hi all,
Here is a patch against 3.18/3.19 for dinovo support in bluez-utils.
I'll be posting this patch on my blog at http://hentenaar.com for the rest of the world shortly.
Changes:
* Moved the dinovo_mediapad() call to make connecting the media pad essentially hassle-free.
* Added an implicit --search to hidd's --server handling.
* The patch no-longer necessitates calling automake after patching (however it is good practice.)
Notes:
* Be sure to configure with --enable-hidd!
* Be sure to restart dbus after installing.
* Be sure to either compile in uinput support within the kernel, or 'modprobe uinput' before using.
* You may need to tune your system's init scripts to call hidd. I noticed that the gentoo init scripts
do not call or reference hidd at all.
* I added an implicit --search when the --server switch to hidd is specified. Note that there is a
search timeout - so unless the mediapad is connected before the timeout you'll have to manually
run either hidd --search, or hidd --connect.
