Hello all,

just to let you know - Trust BT Mouse does not work out of the box with the new connection/pairing methods. Here is what I did on a fresh Hardy Beta Install:

1) Opened System -> Preferences -> Bluetooth Preferences and activated "Visible and connectable for other devices" with no timeout.
2) Opened the Services tab, selected Input Services and clicked the Add button
3) Turned on the mouse and actived the Connect button on the bottom of the device
RESULT: None - no mouse detected
4) Opened terminal and typed: hcitool scan
RESULT: None - no mouse detected
5) deinstalled bluez-utils and bluez-audio
6) installed bluez-utils 3.19 (Gutsy version)
7) Opened terminal and typed: hcitool scan
RESULT: Mouse is detected
8) in terminal typed: sudo hidd --connect ##:##:##:##:##:##
9) Updated bluez-utils with latest Hardy version using Upgrade Manager
10) Rebooted
RESULT: Mouse is now automatically detected as soon as I turn it on.

--> It seems that the new BT stack does not detect the device in the first place, but once it is detected (using an older version) and properly added to the config files it works flawlessly.

Same experience anybody?

Cheers
