Feature changed by: Vladimir Botka (vbotka) Feature #305443, revision 8 Title: Support of Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard on installation openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Christoph Thiel (cthiel1) reject date: 2009-05-28 15:38:59 reject reason: Out of resources for 11.2. Priority Requester: Desirable openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vladimir Botka (vbotka) Description: On Installation the user should be able to decide to use the bluetooth mouse/keyboard. Maybe just in the case that no other mouse/keyboard is detected. Relations: - Bluetooth mouse not detected (novell/bugzilla/id: 445583) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445583 + Discussion: + #2: Vladimir Botka (vbotka) (2009-05-28 17:01:06) + <!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --> + I suggest to throw away this feature request completely. Here are the + reasons. + Blueooth (BT) keyboard/mouse sets are equipped with proprietary usb + bluetooth dongles and works as a standard usb keyboard/mouse from the + computer point of view. After the startup the usb dongle is running in + the " Human interface device" (HID) mode. This behaviour enables to use + the BT keyboard/mouse with BIOS only. Then, when the system is booted + and the bluetooth subsystem is operational the usb dongle can be + switched to to the "Host Controller Interface" (HCI) mode. Then the usb + dongle operates as a BT controller and the keyboard/mouse are connected + to the system as BT devices. The utility hid2hci should cover the whole + transfer, but it works only for a couple of devices (which I have heard + of, I have seen none). Generally I have seen either the BT + keyboard/mouse is used in the HID mode with the proprietary usb dongle + or the BT keyboard/mouse is used as a BT devices secondary input + connected to the bt HCI controller (typically notebook). + The only situation for which this feature really make sens is the BT + mouse and the notebook. There is no HID mode during the installation. + -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305443
