As near as I can tell, the theory is that hidd is obsolete and the new InputService does the job. I accidentally stumbled across a wiki page that gave an example of some dbus gibberish used to feed the input service various info: http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/Input (I've rarely seen such dense gibberish :-). My impression is also that the gnome-bluetooth stuff is supposed to know how to talk to this thing, but the gui for bluetooth preferences is barely less cryptic than the wiki page. By using the gnome utility in combination with manually running hidd --search and taking the back off the keyboard to get to the button I need to push to make it connect, I finally got the input service to record some files in the /var/lib/bluetooth tree, but even with the files there, I still don't get the keyboard automatically reconnected on a reboot - I still need to run hidd --search and push the button. It works much better with the logitech dongle that simply make it look like a USB keyboard, but unfortunately X or the linux USB layer or something doesn't recognize the mouse protocol, so the touchpad will only work with the bluetooth adapter. So right now my choices are: No mouse, or no auto connection. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
