The mouse pairs and works fine after I issue 'hidd --search', but if I reboot my computer, I have to issue that command again for the mouse to be paired again. Also, if I don't use my mouse for a few mins, it will de-pair and I have to issue another 'hidd --search' to get it working again. My question is how do I get my computer to automatically pair with the mouse everytime the mouse is near it and turned on? I am using Fedora Core 3, if that matters. I have read a few posts about this, but I'm very newb to this whole bluetooth thing. Here is what I've tried so far: 1) echo "HIDD_ENABLED=1\nHIDD_OPTIONS="--server" > /etc/default/bluez-utils 2) turning on authentication and encryption in hcid.conf. This produced a link_key file after pairing, but didn't alleviate my problem. Thank you for the help. P.S. Yes, I've read the thread titled 'Automatically accepting pairing from a mouse?', but the suggested solution didn't work for me (nor made any sense to me). ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo.
