[Bluez-users] Bluetooth mouse on openSUSE 10.2 needs rootpassword on every reconnect

Dear all,

I need some help with my bluetooth mouse.

I just went from ubuntu to openSuSE on my laptop. Everything except for
the bluetooth mouse is working.

I have tried a lot of approaches really, but none seem to work. No
matter what I do, I have to use the command sudo hidd --connect ... to
make my mouse connect to the computer or vice versa (computer to mouse)
every time I want to use the mouse. - That means I also have to type the
root password each time I want to use the mouse.

On ubuntu this was really as simple as adding a line with 'hidd
- --server' in /etc/rc.local. Then after I had connected my mouse with the
hidd --connect command once, it always reconnected by itself, even after
restarts and such.

This approach doesn't seem to work in openSuSE however, even when using
the ubuntu (default) /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf file. Why is that?

In SuSE, I must go to a terminal, become root and do:
hidd --server
hidd --connect 00:07:61:4a:1b:ef
(press reset button on the mouse) -result-> Mouse connects and works.
Now, if I turn my mouse off for five seconds and turn it back on again,
I have to type another hidd --connect command as root for the mouse to
reconnect.

I have attached the SuSE bluetooth init script and the bluetooth.conf
file used by the bluetooth init script in hopes it can be of use to
anyone who might answer this request.

Some more technical details is found below my signature.

With hopes of help...

Regards,
Håvar Nielsen
