Bluetooth mouse fails to reconnect

[Berend De Schouwer]

My Belkin bluetooth mouse works fine until I disable and enable bluetooth. After that, it's reported as connected, but no longer moves the mouse cursor.

I sometimes have to disable and enable bluetooth to bounce the wireless network connectivity to reconnect to the wireless network. Toggling wireless on / off also toggles bluetooth on / off.

I've tried powering the mouse on and off, and re-connecting. It's reported as connected, but doesn't move the mouse cursor.

This did work in 12.04; it doesn't in 12.10 beta.

The mouse reconnects when I run hcidump. Why would running hcidump suddenly reconnect it?

[Berend De Schouwer (berend-de-schouwer)]

definitely reconnect when running hcidump. doesn't reconnect otherwise.

hcidump of failed connection:

> ACL data: handle 13 flags 0x02 dlen 13
    L2CAP(d): cid 0x0041 len 9 [psm 19]
      HIDP: Data: Input report

ad infinitum

hcidump of working connection:

> ACL data: handle 13 flags 0x02 dlen 13
    L2CAP(d): cid 0x0041 len 9 [psm 0]

ad infinitum.

Dunno what [psm 19] vs. [psm 0] means.

suspend / resume reconnects the mouse.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is reported against an old version of Ubuntu and many things has changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report against it and we will take it from there.
