[Bluez-users] stale connections with input service (bluez-libs-3.14)

[Bluez-users] stale connections with input service (bluez-libs-3.14)

[Dick]

Hi,

I'm using the latest bluez utils and bluez libs but the input service is still
unstable. When I'm not using my dinovo desktop (keyboard/pointing) they
disconnect but the input service doesn't seem to handle it well.

$ hcitool con
keep telling me:

Connections:
        ACL 00:07:61:69:XX:XX handle 51 state 1 lm MASTER 
        ACL 00:07:61:68:XX:XX handle 48 state 1 lm MASTER AUTH ENCRYPT 

When I reset the hci:

# hciconfig hci0 reset
The mouse reconnects but the keyboard is still not working, I can only get it
back online by either pressing the connect button or dis-/connect the batteries.

In the stale situation I see still data coming from the devices (with hcidump);
that's kinda weird. (Why isn't it handled by the input service?)

I grepped for "input" in my syslog:
http://rafb.net/p/Kf3Ei066.html

What might be wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Dick

which kernel version is this. This is not suppose to happen. Have you
tried a 2.6.23-rc3 kernel?

Does the mouse always works? Maybe this is an issue with the
authentication and encryption that are mandatory for keyboard. Which
keyboard are you using? Which Bluetooth chip is inside it.

Regards

I'm using 2.6.22-gentoo-r4, today I've tried 23-rc3 twice but it seems to be
even more unstable! (Even the USB-HID had problems)

Most at the times, yes. The mouse sometimes gets "laggy" when the keyboard is
"stale". My keyboard is a standard logitech dinovo packaged as "Dinovo Media
Desktop Laser", is there a way to query the bluetooth chip in the keyboard?

Thanks so far,
Dick
