I've got a Logitech dinovo and it works like a charm on my Dell Latitude D800, I've had some bad experience with an external sitecom dongle (laggy mouse) You should enable auth and encrypt in hcid.conf, or enable it manually with hciconfig hci0 auth encrypt If your keyboard / mouse are already associated you should move the mouse around for a while to reconnect and keep pressing enter on the keyboard until it connects. If that failes you should press the connect buttons and start scanning with hidd --search. I'm using kbluepin as pin helper, so I must have a running X server for the association. Your error messages might be related to that (a failing pin helper). I'm really happy with my dinovo and bluez, it's way better than the apple/widcomm/microsoft bluetooth stacks and I hope this helps. greetings, Dick ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.
