Thanks! I did try 0000, 1234, 1111 and 9999 then but none of them seem to work. The trick is (or this time I was just lucky) the little grey button on the bottom of the mouse has to be pressed down whole time when "hidd --search" is run on the Linux side. Only after the PIN code had been entered and the hidd --search has succesfully connected to the mouse, so BT pairing has been finished, the button can be released. Maybe EPoX technical support can correct me or confirm me, when/if they reply after the weekend or some day to my request mail. I found it little odd the EPoX Bluetooth Mouse User's Guide, which came with the mouse, does not mention anything how the BT pairing should be done. It would make sense though. When authorization is negotiated, the software on the mouse end of the peer checks if it accepts the PIN code which is send by the host computer. The host computer must be the initiating party. If the grey button is then in that moment pressed down, authorization is accepted (would think any code would do), if not, the PIN confirmation request is rejected. It works now authorized and encrypted. Also recovers after the sleep mode. // jouni ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
