Definitely does not work.  The above kernel ioctl appears to be busted
(or the add HID device stuff is as it is not updating the in kernel HID
device list).  Read the source code for hidd, comparing against strace
output for "hidd --show".  hidd is running as the BT dongle is in HCi
mode, and I am typing this.

2004 Powerbook 15" Al, 1.33GHz G4, 768 MB RAM, built-in Apple bluetooth,
ATI Radeon video.

Also occurs on my 450MHz g3 PowerMac, with Logitech BT dongle...

I could probably give you access and work with you over say IRC or gaim
in testing this (I have cable with a static IP!), as this is a generic
powerpc problem, and I can remove sensitive stuff off my G3.
