I'm still using bluez-utils 2.20, hope that's fine. If I understand correctly, hidd --connect is used for pairing and only has to be done once (unless it resets somehow), right? Well, it resetted somehow and now I try to --connect it again. Whenever I try to do: hidd --connect 00:0A:95:01:5F:57 I get either Can't get device information: Host is down or (slightly more often, but this seems random) Can't get device information: Permission denied if the mouse is on, and Can't get device information: File descriptor in bad state if the mouse is off. (When my builtin bt (00:0D:93:04:19:15) is in hid-mode instead of hci, I get Can't get device information: No route to host but I figure that's "more" wrong so I've been doing most of my testing with it in hci-mode.) I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a couple of hours; originally "bluepin" was crashing so I just replaced it with a small shell script that echoed "PIN:1234" (got the number from my /etc/bluetooth/pin file, don't know if that's the number the mouse wants: how do I set it?) which got rid of the "PIN helper exited abnormally with code 256" issues in in /var/log/daemon.log Advice is appreciated, Sunnan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
