Don't put --connect in HIDD_OPTIONS. This will fully mess with your system and whoever proposed this strange settings is wrong. In general the option --server is fully enough and HIDD_ENABLE must be on.
The --search or --connect needs only to be issued once. After that the mouse or keyboard will reconnect once it is used. Use hcidump -X -V to check if there are any problems with the re-connect. -- Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard Broken in Dapper/Edgy/Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/32415 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
