MAC Magic Mouse on Ubuntu 9.10

[davim]

Thanks for your great howto

Wow, what a howto . I'll try it. Thank you

For those with a recent iMac (10,1) the reason the Magic mouse doesn't work is the Bluetooth module. I plugged in an external Bluetooth module and was able to pair my mouse and use all the features.

Prior to putting in the external module Linux did not detect any Bluetooth devices.

My Apple Mouse works out of the box. The only thing that is not working is scrolling and multitouching

[davim]

Is there a way to adjust the scroll speed or the touch sensitivity? My magicmouse scroll is just to fast to be usable

I get the following error when I try to build it running this command:

skipabi=true skipmodule=true fakeroot debian/rules binary-magicmouse

Does anyone know how I might fix this? I double checked all the previous steps.

Note that now there's patches 0001 through 0004 in git. Make sure you've applied all of them.

I installed all four, I take it they should be run in order 1 through 4?

Right, you need to install the driver discussed on this thread. If you have an iMac 10,1 you will probably need an external Bluetooth adapter.

Did you get them to apply cleanly on .31 or .32? Or did you have to apply them by hand using a text editor?
