Comment 39 for bug 123920

Fredrik,

It sounds as though bluez-utils is telling your dongle to operate as a
bluetooth dongle instead of a USB HID dongle, I might be wrong, but it
may also save some time in the long run for you, please look in:

  /etc/default/bluetooth

For the following line:

  HID2HCI_ENABLED=1

And change it to:

  HID2HCI_ENABLED=0

I have one system which uses a dinvo set as USB HID devices this way
and it experiences no problems. However, there is also another machine
which uses an internal bluetooth adapter to connect to a different
dinovo set, this machine has some serious reconnection issues which
can not be easily addressed (the bluetooth services must be restarted
in order for the devices to repair if the machine is left to sit
'still' for a while, even though at boot time and after hours of use
everything is fine, just leavinng the machine can cause bluetooth to
fail). I think it is perfectly possible that these problems could be
caused by a driver or kernel issue in my particular case, I suspect it
has something to do with the way the dinovo gear comes out of its own
power saving mode not being very well handled by the linux bluetooth
system.

In any case, I hope this helps a little :).

Cheers

Ryan
