Hi, Marcel;
The only modification to hcid.conf I can remember doing was to set the
pin_helper to a shell script that just echoes PIN:1234 (I don't remember
what the pin is supposed to be; I got the number from /etc/bluetooth/pin
but isn't this resettable somehow?) regardless of it's arguments,
because regular bluepin crashes with the familiar(? at least that's what
I gather from various mailing lists) xserver permission problem.

My output from hciconfig -a says:

the PIN of the Apple mouse is "0000", but you might have changed it.
Check its manual for a reset switch.

I don't know how or if it can be changed. I've switched my shellscript to echo
PIN:0000 instead now (and restarted the various bluez userland daemons).

> Check its manual for a reset switch.

Apparently, it resets everytime the batteries are replaced.
Additionally, the red light underneath the mouse blinks in various patterns
indicating various things; I currently see a creepy, waltz-like "blink blink
pause, blink blink pause, blink blink pause" that supposedly means:
"the mouse is looking for a computer to pair with" according to 
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86474

I still get the same "permission denied" (or, once in a while, "host is down")
message from hidd --connect.
hcidump still says "Error: Authentication Failure".

if you don't find any hints in the syslog or the log files, I am out of
ideas. We now would need a protocol analyzer to find the problem, but
they are a little bit too expensive.

I'll try to remember to post here if I ever get this working again.
It was working fine just two months ago or so.

what does "hciconfig -a" tells you. If you modified hcid.conf then undo
your modifications.
