Bluetooth Slot

[ngosac]

Are you certain the mouse is BT? Alot of other wireless mice are around.

So, wireless mouse doesn't mean it is bt ? If in that case then my mice probably not bt . But how come they have the usb dongle with connect button on both usb receiver and in the bottom of the mouse itself and it can pair OK without internal bt module I installed?

Thanks for your quick reply.

Could we know your bluetooth mice's type? Seems you'd better adjust the bt mice to "pair mode" in driver.

Thanks for your reply .

I have 1 mouse by Micro Innovations model OPM-602 and another one by DYNEX model DX-PWLMSE .

How can I adjust bt mice to "pair mode" in driver ?

Both of those mice are Radio Frequency and not BT. They are going to need the usb dongles to function. Sorry

Thanks, wolfwood. Now I understand why my internal bt module couldn't see the mice. Have to buy a bt mouse soon.

I've allways installed the Bluetoothmodule from Hellowifi, it works all ok.
But the changend Wifimodule ( from Broadcom to Intel 4965 ) does not work such
good with the Bluetoothmodule together.
Because the the FnF5 Switch does not work in Linux i have the Problem to deactivate
Bruetooth to get my wlan work correctly.
I don't need BT very often, so i could deactivate it most of the Time.

I think about an Hardwareswitch - but i search for Infos about the Pinassingment of the
internal Bluetoothconnector, it seems to be the Pin 8 that switches the BT on ?
Cutting Pin 8 could switch off BT hardly ?.
I have read a lot about the Problems of my Wificard, BT and 811b/g Wifi uses the same
Frerquency and if there is Traffic on the Frequency ( BT searches or sends Beacons ) the wifi does not
transmit - and if this happens to often wifi looses the Connection.
BT and WIFI allways disturbes each other - other Cards ignores this but looses Packets/Speed.
The only real Solution is to use 811a/5.3Ghz (or 811n in 5.3G) where BT is not active.
I have an Dualrouter ( Linksys WRT55AG ) and it works, but the Signal of 5.3G is much lower than
2.4G in my Livingroom - so i like to use 2.4G/811g with the Netbook.

No one could tell me how to deactivate BT unter Linux like FnF5 under Windows, all Softwaresolutions
does not work ( BT is off, but the Frontdiode still is purpur and wifi makes Trouble ).

So the Cutterknife is asked for an working solution ?

got my module from hellowifi today, 15 days from china to miami.

a few minutes to install and it works perfectly !

I hear ya. Supposedly under SUSE the FN+F5 combo does work, so it is just a matter of getting the correct kernel modules.

I don't have any problems with interference though.

>I hear ya. Supposedly under SUSE the FN+F5 combo does work, so it is just a matter of getting the correct kernel modules.

Tested with the SLED10 too, but the FnF5 Switch worked not that way on my System.
If i could get more Infos on the Kernelmodules i could try to solve it.
Other Users of Intel Wificards have similar Problems with parallel BT

> I don't have any problems with interference though.

This seems to depend on the Intel Wificard not on the Hellowifi BT - this is ok.

One thing to note is that the ACPI Modules under Ubuntu seem to think this is a Toshiba laptop. Could be some of the problem, but all other hotkeys work fine. Also I had read somewhere that the FN+F5 combo does not send an ACPI event in the current version of this BIOS, but DID in an older version. Maybe a new BIOS would fix the issue... If there ever is a new bios.

An signifikant Difference from the FnF5 Keystroke seems to be:
It starts an Programm in Windows to set the Values - not only alterate the
Status of the Hardware.

For me an Solution to switch the Hardware via an Linuxprogramm would be possible too.
Unbuntu thinks its an Toshiba Laptop ?
What Kind of Hardware is assumed depends on the Kernel i meant to know.
And this is not depending on the Linuxdistro - except some Specials with patched Kernels/Modules.
If the Switch is realized with the Programm, then it should be accessible from Linux too.
Is it located in the Bios or inside an Driver from Lenovo ?

Greetings Bernd

An new Bios is work in Progress, but changing the Way FnF5 is interpreted will not be modified i think.
In Windows it works - Linux isn't that relevant for the Sellers - for now.

[twiceover]

Could be either BIOS or Driver, there's just no way to tell.

Lenovo ships the S10e with bluetooth and SLED so there has to be a way to use that button combo, or maybe they just don't care?
