Dell D410, F11, Logitec bluetooth mouse ...
When I bring up kdebluetooth4, it tells me there is a device trying to connect. I click the [sic] "Allways Trust" button, but nothing happens. When I bring up the devices screen in kdebluetooth4, it shows a loop where the mouse connects for about 1/10 of a second and then is disconnected.
I edited the file "/var/lib/bluetooth/,device id./trusts" and added a line for the device ID of the mouse with "[all]" on the end. Apparently kdebluetooth4 totally ignores that because after a reboot the file was back to zero bytes.
If I su to a shell and run "hidd --search" twice, it will connect the mouse on the second try. Never on the first ... After that the mouse works fine until it goes to sleep. If the mouse goes to sleep, then nothing I can do will get it back except a cold restart on the computer.
The same laptop runing CentOS 5.3 will always connect the mouse automatically. It still does not reconnect after going to sleep, but at least I don't have to manually tell the computer to connect it.
So what's up? How can I get the mouse to be permanently trusted and to work after it goes to sleep?
