I just installed Edgy on a couple of machines last week. (Let me preface this by saying I'm already an Ubuntu convert...however...) I have a Logitech DiNovo keyboard and mouse, with dongle.

The behaviour I see seems slightly different than what is described herein. I use sudo hidd --connect, and it works fine both on a Gateway Solo 1400 (using the Logitech dongle) and on an HP/Compaq nc6000 using the internal Bluetooth. Unfortunately, if idle for too long (I'm guessing the KB/mouse enter snooze mode) both machines will lose their connection to the KB/mouse until I reset both and sudo hidd --connect again.

I may have missed it, but I don't see this exact behaviour described above. I have no problem connecting, except that it's inconvenient to have to do it on such a regular basis (I've already written an alias because I got tired of finding it in the history).

Any ideas here? Anyone else seeing this issue?
