Re: [Bluez-users] Re: diNovo/MX900 problem with hidd

You know, one thing I just realized I forgot to mention...

When I do get it to pair (which I apparently can't right now), hidd
--show lists it as a "boot mode device" even though /var/log/daemon.log
shows it as a Logitech MX900.

I have tried it with auth/encrypt on, although I don't think they're on
as of the hciconfig -a I just sent.
