[Bluez-users] MS Optical Desktop for bluetooth - Stops working after a time

[Daniel Scott <danieljamesscott@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am using the MS Optical Desktop for Bluetooth (to great success) on
Fedora Core 2, kernel . I do have a minor problem though.

The mouse and keyboard work fine. The problem is that after they are
left inactive for ~30 seconds, they seem to disconnect or 'power save'
and it takes a while for the connection to be re-established. Altering
the 'timeout' using something like:

hidd -t 10

does not help.

Any ideas?

Another minor problem is that I tend to leave my system running
constantly, after ~2 days, the mouse stops working and will not
restart, I have tried replacing the batteries, reconnecting the
devices and restarting the hci0 device (hciconfig hci0 down, hciconfig
hci0 up).

Would restarting hidd help, I cannot find a 'clean' way to shut it
down and I will try killing it and restarting it the next time that it
happens. The only solution that I currently have is a reboot.

Thanks for your time, as I said, they are only minor problems so,
don't worry about it too much.

Thanks,

Dan Scott
