I've got a Logitech dinovo and it works like a charm on my Dell Latitude D800,
I've had some bad experience with an external sitecom dongle (laggy mouse)
You should enable auth and encrypt in hcid.conf, or enable it manually with
hciconfig hci0 auth encrypt
If your keyboard / mouse are already associated you should move the mouse
around for a while to reconnect and keep pressing enter on the keyboard until
it connects. If that failes you should press the connect buttons and start
scanning with hidd --search. I'm using kbluepin as pin helper, so I must have a
running X server for the association. Your error messages might be related to
that (a failing pin helper).
I'm really happy with my dinovo and bluez, it's way better than the
apple/widcomm/microsoft bluetooth stacks and I hope this helps.
greetings,
Dick

do you have a "hidd --server" running as root? Provide "hcidump -X -V"
output for your problem.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I can make a connection, once, for a short time.
After I've done so, the connection gets "lost"; it doesn't work until I
pull the batteries on the device and reconnect with hidd --search. Could
you possibly direct me somewhere to an exact set of steps to try so that
I can try exactly what you know should work?
Thanks,
Patrick

don't use "hcitool cc" for creating a connection. This is a testing
command only and the kernel will create the low-level ACL connections if
needed.

If you enable AUTH and ENCRYPT you set your local device into security
mode 3. Do this only if you really know what you are doing.

For what reason are you always searching? If you are connected once then
you never have to worry about it again. All further re-connects will be
handles by a running "hidd --server".
Use "hcidump -X -V" to see if something strange happens when the
keyboard acts weird.

Here's a really weird one:
Used hcitool cc to connect to my mediapad, authed it, got a valid link key:

Immediately after all this, hidd --search returns "No devices in range
or visible"... yet my mediapad lets me type WHILE it is searching.
As soon as it's done searching, it quits. After three more searches,
hidd --search returns "Can't create HID control channel: Connection refused"
hidd --show then returns:
00:07:61:12:60:11 HID Boot Device [046d:b3e1] connected [boot-protocol]
and the keyboard works, albeit with horrendous (15 seconds) lag between
my typing and it appearing on screen, along with fairly frequent key
repeats (key acts like I'm just holding it down for 15 seconds or so).
If I push the connect button and then do hidd --search, hidd displays
the following:
Searching ...

then the pin request window comes up... I put in 1234 on the computer,

after about another 30 seconds or so, hidd --search returns with "HID
create error 110 (Connection timed out)"
Hope this is enough information for someone to assist me on this. It's
getting really frustrating, because using my laptop's internal keyboard
hurts my wrists. If I can't get it working in the next few days I'll
have to go back to windows on this system (and that would make me very sad).
Thanks!

You know, one thing I just realized I forgot to mention...
When I do get it to pair (which I apparently can't right now), hidd
--show lists it as a "boot mode device" even though /var/log/daemon.log
shows it as a Logitech MX900.
I have tried it with auth/encrypt on, although I don't think they're on
as of the hciconfig -a I just sent.
