Subject: Microsoft BT mouse's optical sensor switches off???

Hi,

I upgraded my debian linux to newest testing version:

notas:/usr/src/linux-2.6.18-rc4# dpkg -l|grep -i bluez
ii bluez-hcidump 1.31-1 Analyses
Bluetooth HCI packets
ii bluez-utils 3.1-3.1 Bluetooth
tools and daemons
ii libbluetooth1 2.25-2 Library to
use the BlueZ Linux Bluetooth stack
ii libbluetooth2 3.1-1 Library to
use the BlueZ Linux Bluetooth stack

and linux kernel to 2.6.18-rc4 to have also latest BlueZ kernel.

Everything works fine, except mouse?!

Mouse works, but it sensor getts off in a very short time. I have to click
2times any button on it to start it again to move cursor?!

This really p*ss me off.

Where can I switch off this "feature"??

Until now everything worked fine.

Thanks a lot for reply

Michal

Find where it started happening with git bisect, then file proper
bugzilla report, I'd say...

Ahoj Pavle,

zkousel jsem vsechny predchozi jadra co tu mam 2.6.16.16,2.6.17.3 a delaj to
taky. To vypada spis jako chybu v nejakem upgradovanem programu. Napadaj me
Xka nebo BlueZ stack.

Co je zajimavy, ta prodleva je presne 60 sekund a moje druha BT mys Logitech
V270 ani moje USB mys to nedelaji.

Michal

Hi Pavel,

I was testing all previous kernel versions I have (2.6.16.16, 2.6.17.3) which
worked before and it is also happening in them now. So it looks like error in
some external out-of-kernel stuff. Maybe X.org or BlueZ utils???

Is interresting, that delay when sensor switch off is 60 seconds (like some
timer) and my second BT mouse Logitech V270 and also my USB mouse don't do
that and sensor is always on. When I connect Microsoft mouse to W2000 or my
old linux installation, sensor also don't switch off.

Any clue whom to ask now?

Thanks
Michal

Hi I fixed this issue - Sensor switches off if hcid daemon doesn't run. If
does, everythink works fine!

I find out that hcid not running, because I was missing DBUS.

Hope this will help others having this issue.
