I have placed a bunch of output files on my server for your viewing pleasure, instead of giving you large outputs in an email body. This is the output from hcidump -X -V while just pressing keys on the keyboard after pressing the connect button: http://www.feline-soul.com/files/hcidump This is the output from hcidump -X -V when a "hcitool cc 00:07:61:1B:50:9B" is run: http://www.feline-soul.com/files/hcidump_hcitool_connect This is the output from hcidump -X -V when a "hidd --connect 00:07:61:1B:50:9B" is run: http://www.feline-soul.com/files/hcidump_hidd_connect My hcid configuration file: http://www.feline-soul.com/files/hcid.conf My rfcomm configuration file (I have never altered it) http://www.feline-soul.com/files/rfcomm.conf The daemon hidd is indeed running: root 4750 0.0 0.0 5040 484 ? Ss Jul26 0:00 /usr/bin/hidd --server Pertainent modules are as follows: hidp 17152 3 l2cap 22408 14 rfcomm,hidp usbhid 37024 0 bluetooth 47268 12 rfcomm,hidp,l2cap,hci_usb hci_usb 15892 6 I have taken the batteries out of the keyboard, pressed the gray button, pressed the button on my hub, unplugged and plugged the hub back in, and sacrificed AOL Cd's on an alter in the name of Tux. I am never prompted for a pin (and i don't know what it would be if i was). I have taken the kde pin handler line out of the config and still i am never asked for a pin. Truthfully, i don' t even know if i should be or not. What else can i provide? Thank you again, Bearcat M.
