[Bluez-users] dual boot keyboard wont connect

[Walt]

I dual boot with windows xp, and use the MS wireless desktop bluetooth.  
When I switch to windows, i get a message about a bluetooth device 
requesting authorization.  I have to manually remove the device, hold 
the reset button on the keyboard, and then rescan for the keyboard.  
When I switch back to linux, all I get is the following in my log:
localhost hcid[8848]: link_key_request (sba=00:50:F2:7D:43:AF, 
dba=00:50:F2:80:32:90)
I hold the reset, then hidd -connect 00:50:F2:80:32:90.  The mouse works 
great through all of this.

My guess is that the keyboard requires authentication: in windows i must 
type in a set of numbers and press enter or it doesnt work. At least, 
thats the only difference that I can see with the way it connects.

Currently using 2.6.8-mh1, bluez-libs/utils-2.10

Thanks,
Walter

actually dual booting with a Bluetooth keyboard is not really possible
unless you store the link key on the Bluetooth dongle. Do you enabled
the auth option in hcid.conf?

Hi Walter,

> No, should I?

No.

But this part is wrong here. Use "pin_helper /usr/bin/mybluepin;" and
make mybluepin a script that echos "PIN:1234" where 1234 is your actual
PIN.
