Bluetooth input devices

This article describes the setup of Bluetooth input devices.

Kernel
You need Bluetooth and evdev support. Also you need to activate the following kernel options:

BlueZ settings
Change UserspaceHID to true in /etc/bluetooth/input.conf:

UserspaceHID=true
 * 1) Enable HID protocol handling in userspace input profile
 * 2) Defaults to false (HIDP handled in HIDP kernel module)

Configuration
To configure the input devices use the specialized desktop management tools:
 * for GNOME
 * for KDE

Some bluetooth input devices are initially not in the HID mode, but in HCI mode. This is handled by udev in. Additional devices can be added in a custom rule file which needs to be placed in. See als the udev article for more details.
