Description Anton Keks 2006-01-28 12:44:06 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
My bluetooth mouse (Trust MI-5300m, HID profile) is not automatically recognized anyhow.

To make it work, I have to everytime press the pairing button on the mouse after tunring it on, then executing either of the following (assuming that bluetooth service is started):

/usr/bin/hidd --search
or
/usr/bin/hidd --connect 00:0A:94:C1:3F:9B

where the second one is slightly faster (both calls result in a working mouse).

However, if the mouse is left unattended for some time or if it is turned off and back on, the whole procedure must be repeated, involving the pairing process again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bluez-utils-2.15-7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
see above

Expected Results:  I expect that already paired mouse should start working automagically :-)


Additional info:

Comment 1 Anton Keks 2006-01-28 12:47:15 UTC

It may probably involve running 

/usr/bin/hidd --server

on startup, can it be configured "the official way"?

Comment 2 David Woodhouse 2006-09-10 08:56:54 UTC

There's an init script which will run hidd for you at startup. That seems
sufficient for my own bluetooth mouse.
