Just want to mention that
sudo hidd --search is a workaround that somewhat works...

What I want to say with that:

The mouse pairs only after first I turn off the mouse, wait 5 seconds (untill the green light comes off) then I press the Discovery button. Mouse works for a maximum of 30 minutes, sometimes less than 1 minute (it's not stable/usable).

Mouse doesn't reconnect after it disconnects or upon reboot, hidd --search returns connection not allowed (someting like that) even if I press the discovery button again. Only way to make it reconnect is to turn mouse OFF completely then start again... Don't need to restart bluetooth service.

I don't think this behavior is worth opening another bug, Bluez-compat is a deprecated package already, but without it the mouse does not connect at all ?!

I'm using a PS3/Jaunty 9.04 final with Microsoft Notebook 5000 mouse. I don't know how/what info to provide you but I'm willing to help if someone is willing to guide me!
