Ok, the HIDBP (HID Boot-Protocol) is very basic... I found this: There are two options for using a USB mouse or a USB keyboard - the standalone Boot Protocol (HIDBP) way and the full featured HID driver way. The Boot Protocol way is generally inferior, and this document describes the full featured way. The Boot Protocol way may be appropriate for embedded systems and other systems with resource constraints and no real need for the full keyboard and mouse capabilities. I think now I got the right idea! I mixed HID / HIDBP / HCI up... > If I switch a device from HID mode to HCI, does the device give the plain USB > data? > > Does the HID protocol have support for the scroll-wheel? Yes, but probably not the HIDBP. Now the question: How do I switch my bluetooth mouse to full HID mode? > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# hidd --show > 00:12:A1:60:8A:33 Bluetooth HID Boot Protocol Device [0a5c:0001] connected [boot-protocol] I think this means it's will in HIDBP mode. Maybe I'm wrong?! My "USB HIDBP Mouse" option in the kernel is turned off.
