I've been using the MX5000 combo, and it's been working great on my old Dell 600m (with the included USB bluetooth adapter). I just got a new e1405 with built in Dell TrueMobile 350, and have been experiencing some problems. The keyboard is working fine (I fixed the repeating key issue by following the directions on their website), and it connects and displays the proper information great. My problem is with the mouse. It appears to be laggy/jumpy at certain times, and others it works just fine. This isn't due to an extreme distance between the mouse and the computer, its just under 3 feet away, and the CPU/RAM aren't the cause, since the CPU load is just under 10%, and very few programs are loaded.

I found KAROLOYDI's post, and decided to remove the Toshiba drivers (I didn't like all those programs loading anyway). I first tried the Microsoft drivers - same problem. I then tried the modded WIDCOMM drivers, still same problem. It connected just fine, but it still lags at certain times.

I saw a post that said to disable the acceleration feature and this would somewhat fix the problem, it barely did, but it is still annoying. At times, I wish I had a wired mouse.

Are any of you aware of this problem, and do you know of any fixes?

Thanks!

There's a new release of Widcomm BT stack. Version 5.1.0.1700.

Bad news is that it doesn't work properly on CSR based adapters (like the BT350)...

Also there's new Toshiba release.

Version: 4.20.01(T) if anyone wants to give it a shot.

does anyone know how to do this with non-Dell laptops? I want to do this exact same thing with my ASUS W3J but I'm afraid I'm going to mess something up!

how do you turn off bluetooth once you get the WIDCOMM stack installed? i got mine installed and it works flawless, BUT i cant figure out how to get it to turn off (on v4.0 of the widcomm drivers it had a stop bluetooth services thing)

now, this is all i get:

WingZero2309 · 08-10-2006, 11:31 PM

WingZero2309 · 08-11-2006, 01:06 AM

harsan · 08-12-2006, 07:33 PM
