In 11.04 this appears to be the case. So, you can additionally check `ls -ld /dev/uinput`to test for this. In short, xbmc online doco appears to be missing this.</span><br style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Tahoma;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">

However, (for me anyway) it did not set the remote as an input device (and thus never went to uinput). This is the real source of the problem (as far as I can tell). The only way I found I could set the remote as an input device was via the 'blueman' ui (there is an apt aka synaptec package for it). From there, select the remote on the ui, and there are options to set and an input device.</span><br style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Tahoma;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">

</div>Take a look at the hci commands (hciattach hciconfig hciemu<br>
hcitool hcitrace) which chould give you more info. I am no expert<br>
in them, but try<br>
<br>
hciconfig -a<br>
<br>
to get a view of the bluetooth dongle.<br>
<br>
I am sure google will give you some clues on how to troubleshoot.<br>
<br>
I unplugged my dongle last night and plyugged it into a different usb<br>
slot and it started working again.<br>
