Hello list,
with this posting I publish a software that mimicks a Bluetooth HID
(keyboard and mouse combo device) on a Linux PC. Thus you can
remote-control other Bluez-equipped PCs, Widcomm-stack equipped windows
boxes, and basically any machine that knows how to talk to Bluetooth
keyboards in non-boot-protocol mode.
Source code is GNU GPLd, and can be found on
http://www.hoffmeister-online.de/bluez/hidclient-20060725.tar.bz2
Short instructions (for root users):
Download the file and unpack it
# wget -q
http://www.hoffmeister-online.de/bluez/hidclient-20060725.tar.bz2
# tar -xjvf hidclient-20060725.tar.bz2
Run make and copy the hid-sdp-record.bin into /etc/bluetooth/
Make sure bluez is installed (else the "make" will most probably fail
anyway) and the SDP daemon is running (which it should by default).
Change to a Linux textmode console (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1) and run
./hidclient
from there. Then, startup the other machine and discover the "HID"
service available on your virtual-HID box. Connect to it.
Move the mouse, touch the keyboard, enjoy.
Hint: The bluetooth connection can be interrupted by pressing "Pause",
the program can be aborted altogether with LeftCtrl+LeftAlt+Pause
Beware, all keyboard and mouse input will simultaneously be read by your
virtual-HID computer as well! That's why running hidclient from a
textmode console is a good idea.
Code history: Developped as a practical work during the "Networks"
course at Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universit=E4t, Bonn, Germany in
2004/2005 for the Nokia-supported, GPLd, Affix Bluetooth stack.
Ported in July/2006 to bluez, several code cleanups and improvements.
Questions welcome.
Regards
Anselm
P.S: Sorry if you get this mail twice. My mail of 2006-07-25, 21:51 did
not come back through the list, hence the repost.

Hmmm.
ps auwx | grep hi
root 6147 0.0 0.0 1816 444 ? Ss 12:08 0:00 /usr/bin/hidd --server
After killed it all works fine now...
./hidclient
HID keyboard/mouse service registered
Opened event device [/dev/input/event0]
Opened event device [/dev/input/event1]
Opened event device [/dev/input/event2]
Opened event device [/dev/input/event3]
The HID-Client is now ready to accept connections from another machine
Thanks for your help,

It seems you already have a bluetooth daemon using the PSM 19. I do not
know which one that might be, but if I remember right, that should be
reserved for HID!? Sorry I cannot tell you how to find out which program
that might be. If possible, you could try to shutdown the bluetooth
daemons currently running, and see wether that port becomes free.
Sorry for being so unspecific.
Anselm

Great job!
