And since yesterday bluedevil-1.0 was released it sounded like good time to try it out and fix some ebuilds.

So if you go to the gentoo bugzilla and then navigate to bug #345239 you will find two “quick-and-dirty” ebuilds. But they work ;)

So if you want bluetooth in your kde, check them out and if you have the skills and time improve the ebuilds.

But this week I decided to actually write it.

It is a very simple program using bluez for the bluetooth connection with the WiiMote (which we need, obviously) and XTestFakeKeyEvent. This has as a side effect that it will only work with X running. But that should not be a problem since well. Who would want to control his terminal with a WiiMote?

The very very basics is done. The D-Pad on the WiiMote generates up/down/left/right-keyevents. I just need to find a use full meaning for the other buttons. But maybe a control file in which the user can specify all is a better solution.

Currently it is not published on-line (yet) since I need to clean the code a little.

I am aware some other programs can do what I want but after checking out the sources they just seem to complex. I want it all simple, clean and small..
