Dear Bluetooth Users,

i just wanted to let everyone one know that bthidd(8) and 
bthidcontrol(8) were updated in -current. both were connected to the 
build and should be now installed by default with regular 
buildworld/installworld.

the majority on the changes went into bthidd(8). bthidd(8) now supports 
multiple  bluetooth keyboards at the same time. it also was integrated 
with vkbd(4) and kbdmux(4). i also added /etc/rc.d/bthidd startup 
script. i have tested my changes with apple bluetooth keyboard and se 
k700i remote control feature, that provides both keyboard and mouse part.

if you own bluetooth keyboard/mouse and have not tried it already please 
give it a go. i expect many questions and prepared to answer them to my 
best abilities. please make sure that all your questions cc'd to 
freebsd-bluetooth@

if someone would update bluetooth chapter in the freebsd handbook, i 
would really appreciate it. also both bthidd(8), bthidcontrol(8) man 
pages needs more work and bthidd.conf(5) man page is missing.

thanks,
max
