Comment 12 for bug 148712

I'm encountering an apparently similar issue with a Dell wireless bluetooth mouse under the 7.10 rc 1 build. The same laptop and same mouse worked fine with 7.04 (out of the box, in fact). The mouse does not require a passkey.

If I try to use the GNOME bluetooth applet to enable the mouse (with "Browse device..."), it fails with:

Couldn't display "obex://[00:07:61:94:22:bb]".
Check if the service is available.

The same mouse worked out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 7.04 .

bluez-utils, libgnomebt0, gnome-bluetooth, obexftp and gnome-vfs-obexftp (not that the latter two are really relevant) have been added to the packages installed by the base system.

Interrogating the device with sdptool reveals that it's definitely providing a HID protocol class descriptor:
