Hello!

First I'd like to thank you very much for your continued efforts in making Bluetooth on Linux work well.

I've been trying to get my Logitech MX900 mouse, and Apple wireless keyboard to be recognized on boot on my Ubununtu 6.06 system. Unfortunately documentation for the bluez seems pretty sparse. So far I've edited the /etc/default/bluez-utils file to contain this section:

############ HIDD
#
# To have Bluetooth mouse and keyboard support, get the # Linux 2.6.6 patch or better from bluez.org, and set # HIDD_ENABLED to 1.
HIDD_ENABLED=1
HIDD_OPTIONS=" --server --search" HIDD_OPTIONS=" -i 00:07:61:19:FA:E9 --server" HIDD_OPTIONS=" -i 00:0A:95:44:AF:88 --server"

# to make hidd always use a particular interface, use something
# like this, substituting the bdaddr of the interface:
# HIDD_OPTIONS="-i AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF --server"
#
# remove '--master' if you're having trouble working with Ericsson
# T630 phones with hidd operational at the same time.

Where 00:07:61:19:FA:E9 is the address of my mouse and 00:0A:95:44:AF:88 the address of my keyboard. With this setup I am able to get the mouse to work, but only if I run hidd --search by hand, after boot.

I've tried enabling security mode three to pair the keyboard(I read in the forum archives that it need it) but that didn't seem to work at all. If anyone could provide me with any details on how to setup my keyboard and mouse I'd really appetite it.

leave the options to " --server" only and make sure the hidd instance is running at root. Then only do a "hidd --search" once and all further times, the mouse and keyboard will reconnect to you.
