I did not check the BlueZ code. I don’t know BlueZ at all and I am just trying to look at it from a user prospective who is trying to use dbus and BlueZ to create an application. Looking at the complete file hostname.c, I can see that changing the Chassis property would indeed change the device class but only to predefinded values desktop, server, laptop, handset and tablet. I will not be able to use it to change to HID device class 0x000540 -Marcus-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
