Some troubles with bluetooth and MX900

[dodik]

Hi,

I'm having some troubles with my T42 with bluetooth build-in and my logitech MX900. I managed to connect the mouse to the laptop using bluetooth but each time I restart, I need to run the command :

Code: Select all

sudo hidd --connect 00:07:61:07:32:CD
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

and I have to press the button under the mouse. I need to run that as well after a timeout of 5 min.

What can I do ?

I'm having another trouble. I need to run

Code: Select all

xhost +

to enable the fn+F3 functionnality of my thinkpad. I don't know how to enable that each time I restart my computer.

Note: I'm using Ubuntu 5.04 and forgive the poor english of a french thinkpad owner

I already tried that, but it doesn't work at all. Thanks anyway.

Do NOT do this. That command disables acces control, now everybody on the internet can read what you type and take remote screenshots!

What can I do then ? I need to lock my machine using fn + F3 but I can't if I don't type xhost +

My T41 works like a charm with the MX900. Automatically reconnecs after standby/reboots, too. You must have "hidd -server" running in the background ("service hidd start" in FC4).

Do you have something like the following in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf:

Code: Select all

# Logitech mouse MX900
device 00:07:61:07:32:CD {
        name "%h-%d";
        class 0x120104;
        lm master,accept;
        lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
        auth enable;
        encrypt enable;
}

}

can you tell what are the results of the following commands ?

Code: Select all

$ ps aux|grep hcid

Code: Select all

$ ps aux|grep hidd

Can You put your entire /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf file as well ?

Thanks

Can you move this unrelated question to another thread? Short answer: depends on your setup.

This is the configuration for my MX900 with the T41. The /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf is

everything is working fine now with the MX900. Thanks a lot Volker.
