I get totally no output, not even the "No devices in range or visible" that

I've never bothered with the hidd stuff. I do get the same "No devices..."
message for hidd --search with my headset turned on even though it works
just fine.

I've just install the bluez-btsco package (sudo aptitude install
bluez-btsco). Try running
btsco -v aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
and  see whether it can connect to your headset. The first time you do this,
you should be prompted for the pin.

Good luck

Arthur
