Connecting input devices

Input devices are now catered for in the mainstream release of
bluez-utils, since version 2.7, via the 'hidd' daemon. This requires a
patch to be applied to the kernel, though, which can be downloaded from
http://www.bluez.org/.

Run the HID server as root:

# hidd --server

Then connection to your input device

# hidd --connect AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

Change AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF for the Bluetooth address of your keyboard or
mouse.
