Description Manuel Harnisch 2005-03-18 09:34:34 UTC

The current kernel contains a bluez-patch that has protocol switching support disabled. This renders devices such as the Logitech diNovo Media Desktop partially useless (works only in limited boot-protocol mode).
A new version of the -mh patch was just posted on bluez.org, fixing this problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.11-r4
2.Connect diNovo Set
3.Run hidd from commandline -> boot-protocol

Comment 1 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-03-22 11:02:54 UTC

So you suggest that we do what? Include the newer patch in gentoo-sources?

Comment 2 Manuel Harnisch 2005-03-22 11:17:25 UTC

Yes, that was my idea, any objections?

The patch is too big to include. Can you point us at a smaller patch which addresses this issue and no others?

Need split-out patches before I will consider this.
