Description of problem: I'm using bluetooth mouse A4Tech BT 630. Or at least I'm trying to use, because after few seconds of idleness, bt connection between Linux and mouse is broken, and I have to re-establish it in bluez-appet. I've tested this mouse with MS Windows and there is no problem there. Mouse manual claims following sleep modes and way to wake up: mode / delay (how long in idle) / way to wake up slight sleep / 2 seconds / moving mouse middle sleep / 4 seconds / moving mouse deep sleep / 5 minutes / clicking In Linux, after mouse enter deep sleep, connection is broken and clicking won't help. My bt dongle is connected via usb: Bus 002 Device 007: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bluez-4.87-6.fc15.i686 kernel-PAE-2.6.38.8-32.fc15.i686 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pair the mouse 2. Let mouse idle for few minutes 3. Attempt to wakeup mouse by clicking and moving cursor Actual results: BT connection to mouse is broken. Expected results: Mouse functioning. Additional info:
Ti Tomek, as I got the same mouse, I could do a little investigation. Curiously, I have this problem in (test) Windoze, even with A4tech "drivers" installed and loaded. But let's return to Linux and my workaround. for me, the solution is to make very little "program" in shell, that continuously (even if l2ping dies) issues: l2ping -c 2 -d 120 'mouse_address' I launch it from rc.local Didn't tested battery life with this hack.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
