Page timeout on Logetech cordless elite keyboard but mouse works

Hello folks,

I am running sourcemage gnu/linux. My kernel is 2.6.17 and blues-libs and bluez-utils are versions 3.1. I have a Logitech cordless elite set (keyboard and MX 900 mouse).

The basis for my work on it so far is here:
http://www.bueche.ch/comp/mx900/mx900.html

The logitech hub switches over to hci just fine and the mouse is successfully connected via blue tooth. (Note, both mouse and kb work in pure hid mode with no bluetooth). I need the bluetooth hub working as i will be getting a headset this week, that i need to have operational

However, i can not get the keyboard to connect. When i enter a "hidd --connect 00:07:61:1d:29:32" i get "Can't get device information: Host is down" from the terminal and "Problem connecting with 00:07:61:1d:29:32: Page Timeout" on a kdebluetooth tool tip.

I have hit the connect button on the keyboard repeatedly and even taken out a battery for a few seconds. I have verified that i am using the correct MAC address via the printing on the bottom of the keyboard.

I'll be happy to provide what ever config info you all need to help me resolve this.

One thought is that i do have a spare keyboard plugged into the keyboard port while i'm testing, or else i would not be able to type the commands to connect the bluetooth one. Could this be blocking it? If so, how the heck would i resolve that?!

Thank you for your time,

Bearcat M. Sandor

make sure that "hidd --server" is running, because the keyboard will re-connect to you.

Marcel,

hidd --server is indeed running.

At my start up i do:
modprobe hidp
/usr/bin/hidd --server
hid2hci -0
/usr/bin/hidd --connect 00:07:61:1d:29:32

That connects the mouse just fine. However the keyboard never wakes up. Even removing and replacing a battery does nothing. A "/usr/bin/hidd --connect 00:07:61:1B:50:9B" just gives me the time out error. (forget the MAC i entered below, i cut/paste the wrong one). Nothing appears in my syslogs when i do a hdd --connect.

Thanks for the help so far,

Bearcat

the "hidd --connect ..." should only be used once. Every further connect will be done by the keyboard or the mouse. I stated this various times.

Marcel,

The hidd --connect is only being issued once. The keyboard never connects to me.
