what is the output of "hciconfig -a" and the content of
/proc/bus/usb/devices (before and after the run of hid2hci)?

The Apple Bluetooth mouse expects a PIN or a link key even if you only
connect to the SDP service (security mode 3). This is stupid for a HID
mouse, but they did it this way. A working PIN is "0000". So I say you
replace your PIN helper program (from hcid.conf) with the following
executable script

	#!/bin/sh
	echo "PIN:0000"

and put also "0000" into /etc/bluetooth/pin. Restart the hcid and see
how it goes. If this don't work, run "hcidump -w <file>" and send us the
dump file.

Regards

Marcel
