Re: [Bluez-users] help with Logitech Travel Mouse

["Claudio Takahasi" <cktakahasi@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Once the input device is created(using CreateDevice) the device will
reconnect automatically to the host when the user presses any key or
moves the mouse. Currently, there isn't a wizard applet to setup input
device, bluez-gnome and KDEBluetooth will support this functionality
soon. Bear in mind that an authorization agent(bluez-gnome implements
it) is required to authorize the incomming connection, alternatively
you can add this device in the trusted list to skip authorizations.

dbus-send examples are a workaround for testing purpose.

We have reconnect problems with some buggy keyboards, otherwise the
service is working fine.

BR,
Claudio.
