Hi all,
for some reasons, like usb not working yet w/ mainline kernels,
I would like to be able to use a bluetooth keyboard to - at least - enter login/passwd on the linux session on the hdmi display.
I assume I use the kvim onboard BT controller, that serial console already works ok, and that I use 4.12.7 (or more) kernel and ubuntu base (16.04.3 or more).
Any advice on making BT kbd work on older kernels or older ubuntu are of course very welcome if they can help me achieve my goal;
Please feel free to share your valuable knowledge you may have on the subject, thanks in advance and let’s make the kvim (pro) greater !
And voilà !
I was able to type (on the hdmi tty session) my login and password from my very old KeySonic 340-BT Bluetooth Keyboard!
EDIT:
Does it survive the kvim reboots ? YES indeed, it does !
The only remaining problem is the layout, but I thing it’s time to do some reconfiguration to fix it…
And I also need to check if the trackpad will be able to work under the X11 GUI, once I manage to have one running on the kvim
and as a happy bonus,
I now also managed to make the kvim take into account my non-us-qwerty layout keyboard to enter my credentials on the hdmi linux session after boot !
