Mine lacks the "2.0" addition, so yours is probably a newer de= vice. > usbview shows the dongle with the name "Wireless Radio for Bluetooth", It says "Wireless Transceiver for Bluetooth" here. > and its name is in red, which I've been led to believe means that no > drivers have attached themselves to the device.

The aforementioned Microsoft-Dongle as well as my Laptop's integrated Bluetooth both show red in usbview, and both work with BlueZ. > I'd paste in the usbview output but usbview > appears to not support whatever flavor of cut-and-paste gnome uses. You did try to simply select in usbview (left mouse button) and paste in whatever other application (middle mouse button or left and right mouse buttons simultaneously if you don't have a middle button), did you? Because that just works for me and my usbview. > When I plug in the dongle, the mouse just starts working without me > having to do anything at all (though some of the buttons don't work, > even the scrollwheel, which is working on another USB mouse attached to > this system). This is Not Good[tm]. It probably means that your newer version of the dongle is capable of handling HID connections itself (until now I thought only Logitech's would do that) and thus probably spoofing to be just some random USB mouse to your computer. > athene bluetooth # hciconfig > hci0: Type: USB > BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 > DOWN This reinforces my belief. You surely can't have a Bluetooth HID connection when your Bluetooth device is down. I guess you probably need to do what all those users of the Logitech Wireless Hub do: Use hid2hci to switch the dongle from "Let's pretend I was a mouse" mode over to "Yet another boring Bluetooth dongle" -- Henryk Pl=F6tz Gr=FC=DFe aus Berlin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click _______________________________________________ Bluez-users mailing list Bluez-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bluez-users
