[Bluez-users] Microsoft Optical Desktop for Bluetooth - Help!

[Ioannis Koutras <ik5272@ee.duth.gr>]

Hi,

I've recently bought a new PC which came with Microsoft Optical Desktop 
for Bluetooth set. During setup (both Windows and Linux) I've used a 
normal PS/2 keyboard and everything went OK. The installation of the 
bluetooth devices in Windows was also OK.

But with Linux, I came up with lots of problems. By trial and error, I 
have managed to use it, but I still have problems. The mouse has no 
problems at all, since no PIN is used for it, but for the bluetooth 
keyboard I had to setup a PIN (using the default pin-helper) which has 
to be the same with the one in Windows.

Although it works for a while, if you don't press any buttons for some 
time, the connection between keyboard and PC is lost.In addition to 
that, when I exit from Linux, the connection is most of times also lost, 
so I cannot control the boot loader or the BIOS and even worse, I have 
to go into Windows to re-install the keyboard so that I can finally use it.

Thanks god the mouse always works and therefore, I don't have to connect 
a PS/2 keyboard every time I use Linux.

Oops, I've forgotten to mention that I'm using Gentoo Linux with a 
2.6.12 kernel (morph-sources) and the latest stable BlueZ stuff for 
Portage...

If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful...


Thanks in advance
