Hi list!I have a minor problem: I recently bought a Microsoft Presenter Mouse (I know, shame on me, but it's the only affordable device with this kind of functionality). So far, it works as expected: - it works out of the box with the Microsoft dongle - it works with my normal bluetooth adapter with some fine tuning (see below) - its special keys will need some additional configuration However, there is one problem: It only works with deactivated authentication and encryption. This is no problem by itself: You can activate and deactivate these options in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf on a per-device basis but for some reason this doesn't seem to work: [...] # Default settings for HCI devices device { [...] auth enable; encrypt enable; } device 00:1D:D8:35:C4:39 { name “Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000”; auth disable; encrypt disable; } When I use this configuration I'm asked for a PIN for the connection, which - naturally - doesn't work. When I disable auth and encrypt for all devices, it works. Have I misunderstood the syntax for this file? Thanks in advance! Florian Philipp
This thread is cold as ice but in case someone stumbles upon it: The solution is to put device-specific settings above the default other settings in your config file.
