Comment 1 Brian G. Anderson 2007-06-04 23:04:06 UTC
After some experimentation,  I found that if I stop bluetooth services and then
start hidd it succeeds.  I can restart the bluetooth services after this. 
However, if I switch the order, hidd won't start.


Comment 2 Brian G. Anderson 2007-06-04 23:13:27 UTC
Curiously, once I stop bluetooth, restart hidd, and restart bluetooth,  I can
start and stop hidd with no further problems.

Comment 3 Evert Verhellen 2007-06-28 21:42:03 UTC
I can confirm Brian's workaround. I adjusted the startup priority of the HIDD
service from 26 to 24 and updated the symbolic links with "chkconfig hidd
resetpriorities". After rebooting, doing "hidd --search" discovers my Bluetooth
mouse correctly.
