Comment 15 for bug 84541

Hi Marcel

Running ps | grep hidd | grep -v grep I get:
root 5670 1 0 Sep25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/hidd -i 00:07:61:84:B3:03 --server

(00:07:61:84:B3:03 is my mouse; running hidd --server without the -i MAC address doesn't allow a reconnect under any circumstance)

And yet my bluetooth mouse does not reconnect either at startup, KDE login or when the mouse times out its bluetooth connection after a period of inactivity.

So far the ONLY way I have found to get the mouse working again is, like Jim and rowanook, to use an hidd --connect. Believe me, I don't want to do this.

I think that this thread is actually saying that the approach you fairly bluntly proscribe doesn't work - and that's (we believe) a bug.
