Re: [Bluez-users] Page timeout on Logetech cordless elite keyboard but mouse works

Marcel,

hidd --server is indeed running. 

At my start up i do:
modprobe hidp
/usr/bin/hidd --server
hid2hci -0
/usr/bin/hidd --connect 00:07:61:1d:29:32

That connects the mouse just fine. However the keyboard never wakes up.  Even 
removing and replacing a battery does nothing. A "/usr/bin/hidd --connect 
00:07:61:1B:50:9B" just gives me the time out error. (forget the MAC i 
entered below, i cut/paste the wrong one). Nothing appears in my syslogs when 
i do a hdd --connect.

Thanks for the help so far,

Bearcat
