Blutooth DiNovo does not work after boot

[Foffa]

First of all... I don't know if this is a DiNovo problem or a general USB/Wireless/Bluetooth problem.

I'm using Logitech DiNovo Bluetooth Keyboard and mouse. The following config:
- Ubuntu Feisty Herd 5 with updates made once per day.
- Linux 2.6.20-12-generic #2 SMP i686 GNU/Linux
- Standard installation xorg.conf (tried with custom file, no difference)

This is what happens:
I start the computer from cold or warm, it doesn't matter. My keyboard and mouse works until gdm is started and the prompt for user is shown. Then the keyboard and mouse stops working. If I unplug the bluethooth dongle and re-plug it, everything is up and working again.

I get the feeling that something is started or scanned after gdm is started. I don't think this is a X problem since I can use my mouse for a second, just before the theme for gdm is loaded. Perhaps it is the acpi-support start-script that messes something up?

Even with autologin via gdm the functionality stops.
But when run this way it hangs after gnome splash has been shown.

What is the common denominator for theese two ways of starting X and gnome? Is it possibly some auto-something-system that restarts or starts during this step?

Any suggestions?

Tested on several computers now. Same behaviour.

Found something here about it:

This is a work around:
"A quick search around the Internet and it turns out that using the Synaptic Package Manager to remove 'bluez-utils' solves the problem."

works great if you do that!

Thanks...

Will try it tonight. I think this is a bug in the Ubuntu environment though.
This bug should be registered om bluez-utils then.
