[Bluez-users] newbie: automatic pairing with a mouse

["Christopher J. Bottaro" <cjbottaro@alumni.cs.utexas.edu>]

Hi,
I have a laptop with internal bluetooth and an IOGear bluetooth mouse.  The
mouse pairs and works fine after I issue 'hidd --search', but if I reboot
my computer, I have to issue that command again for the mouse to be paired
again.  Also, if I don't use my mouse for a few mins, it will de-pair and I
have to issue another 'hidd --search' to get it working again.

My question is how do I get my computer to automatically pair with the mouse
everytime the mouse is near it and turned on?

I am using Fedora Core 3, if that matters.

I have read a few posts about this, but I'm very newb to this whole
bluetooth thing.  Here is what I've tried so far:

1) echo "HIDD_ENABLED=1\nHIDD_OPTIONS="--server" > /etc/default/bluez-utils
2) turning on authentication and encryption in hcid.conf.  This produced a
link_key file after pairing, but didn't alleviate my problem.

Thank you for the help.

P.S.  Yes, I've read the thread titled 'Automatically accepting pairing from
a mouse?', but the suggested solution didn't work for me (nor made any
sense to me).
