Hello,

I am trying to connect a Epox Barton Keyboard to a Thinkpad R50 with
internal bluetooth, Kernel 2.6.6-mh3 and debian bluez-utils 2.7-2.

But I get:
> hidd --connect 00:04:61:XX:XX:XX
HID create error 53 (Invalid request descriptor)

syslog says:
Jun 14 19:24:11 tyron hidd: New HID device 00:04:61:XX:XX:XX (Epox
HIDEngine Keyboard)

Tried with and without encryption, both failed. Any ideas?

Greetings
Matthias
