Hello:

In my efforts to get BlueZ 4.x into Intrepid a question was posed. How come input devices don't default to "Trusted" when paired in the Wizard? This makes for a weird experience the next time you reboot (or disconnect the device for that matter) that you need to give it "authorization".

Regards

that is a bug. We should set the input device as trusted after we connected to it. Any chance you have a patch for it?

I thought I was testing this a couple of weeks ago and it was working fine.

Hi David:

I have just verified myself this is still broke with a couple of input = devices and some folks in Ubuntu are reporting it too.

I don't have a patch ATM, but I'll see what I can come up with.
