Description DERUMAUX Marc 2007-03-20 11:16:47 UTC
I installed a brand new 10.2 with MaJ on my new Dell xps 1210 laptop and I try to connect my Kensington bluetooth mouse and things goes wrong.

I installed Suse with my mouse activated.
I activated Bluetooth in Yast2 (without security, activating all services, etc).
I lauched kbluetoothd.

But kbluetooth icon leaves an empty space in the task menu bar... I looked around Bug 228234 and made indicated MaJ but problem still appear. When I launch kbluetoothd in KDE Menu, It starts to launch for 10 seconds and disappear...

I have no switch on my laptop to down and up bluetooth adapter (broadcom BCM2045). But I noticed that when I suspend (by s2ram), bluetooth adapter keeps sleeping after resume and then kbluetoothd icon appears !! (in black, certainly because adapter is off). If I restart X (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace), Bluetooth adapter awake and when I log in KDE, kbluetoothd icon has disapeared once again and an empty space is left instead (the application exists anyway because menu bar detects it).

So what about my mouse ! Whatever I do with bluetooth config in kde, it is detected after.... 8 to 10 minutes (and roller does not work) !! I'd like to make linux search for it faster, or when I ask for but I couldn't find my mouse anywhere in the hidd or hcid daemons... It seems they have no devices connected... If I scan, they can't find anything...

In the system jounal, Things seems not perfect : if I restart bluetooth services by /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart, things seems OK in xterm as it answers "done" but I get in /var/log/messages :

Mar 20 11:37:16 xps hcid[5752]: Getting scan enable failed with status 0x0c

So I have no idea now to go ahead... I spent a week in forums to fixe that but I couldn't find that much tutorials about bluetooth. So I can't debug it.

I tried a mouse test as explained somewhere : evtest /dev/input/event* but my linux doesn't knows this command and Yast can't find a rmp package about it... Hardware shouldn't have problems as my mouse works in vista. I saw a firmware for adapter BCM2033 in yast and I tried to install it but nothing changed.

Thanks.
