Bug ID: 44279 Summary: Wine can't enumerate HID device that is based on Bluetooth (a Wiimote) Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: epigramx@yahoo.com Distribution: ---
On Windows, if I run hclient.exe (source here: https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/master/hid/hclient) I can normally see my paired and connected device, as shown in this image: https://i.imgur.com/Up60k7s.png It's one of the Wii Remote Plus devices. However, if I do pair and connect the device on Debian and if it correctly appears in /sys/bus/hid/devices and all the tests here work: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XWiimote , running hclient.exe with wine on linux does not find that hid device which might explain why it's not detected by a console application that relies on enumerating HID devices on windows.
I suspect it's a limitation of wine in finding HID devices if they originate from Bluetooth but I can't be sure.
I might return with more details later on (when I reboot to Linux) but let me know if you need specific further details.
Wiimotes are very common so if a dev could try one and see if he can enumerate it in hclient (source above) that'd be great.
