[Bluez-users] Everything seems normal yet...

[Arthur Breitman <arthur.breitman@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I have a latitude X1 Dell. Bluetooth is reported to work out of the box for 
this model, however I just can't make it work.
I installed a kubuntu hoary on it, the kernel is linux 2.6.12-9.
There is a toggle key on the keyboard for bluetooth, according to a led 
indicator and dmesg it works. Better, KDE used to display an info message 
saying the state had been changed.
Well it said that and right after it would display a message complaining about 
the class being set to 0x0...
I went into hcid.conf as advised and saw the class was NOT 0x0... wtf? Well I 
changed it along with the pin helper application.
Didn't do anything, even after reboots etc.
Finally I tried  hcid -f /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf and "tada" it didn't 
complain anymore. Well actually the info bubbles where gone too... seems like 
KDE is not aware anymore of the bluetooth status.

Anyway, here are some relevant informations

root@coin:/# lsmod | grep blue
bluetooth              43012  24 hidp,rfcomm,l2cap,hci_usb

root@coin:/# dmesg | grep usb

Now  everything looks right to me... unfortunately "hcitool scan" doesn't see 
my motorola, which is in discoverable mode using the "find me" option... 
similarly my motorola doesn't see my computer... also I liked the kde info 
bubble. 

What could be wrong? What haven't I checked?
Thanks for your help,
Arthur
