how to connect devices with bluetoothd
Hi folks,
I thought I posted this but maybe not.
Apologies if you got this already.
I just upgraded to the latest Mythbuntu, which comes with bluetoothd instead of the old daemons.
I used to use hidd --connect to pair my keyboard/mouse with the computer, but that no longer works.
Is there a new way to pair devices to the controller?
I verified via lsusb that I can see the bluetooth dongle, I just can't seem to get the keyboard/mouse to connect using the old technique (power cycle mouse, hidd --connect while pressing pairing button, etc.)

Actually, I just got it to work once.
I ran hcitool scan to get the MAC (?) addresses, then ran hidd --connect MAC.
However, after reboot, they were no longer recognized by the computer and hcitool scan gave an error saying the Inquiry timed out.
Is there any trick I'm missing?
