I've got part of this bug too, in 8.04. Most of the time, my MX5000 keyboard and MX1000 mouse connect on startup just fine, but after they go to sleep (~15 minutes away from the computer), I lose connection. I have another mouse handy so that I can open up the bluetooth preferences and reconnect the devices (simply clicking "disconnect" then wiggling the mouse/hitting a key seems to work). Then, I need to restart X so that all of my mouse buttons work properly.
It seems as though there are two parts to this problem: 1) bluez doesn't know when devices disconnect. Since they reconnect automatically if I disconnect them manually, it seems as though automatic detection of the disconnect would solve most of the problem. 2) When a device disconnects, Xorg unloads the driver, as seen in this portion of my Xorg.0.log: (EE) Read error: No such device (19, -1 != 16) (II) Logitech MX1000: Off (II) Logitech MX1000: Off (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" Is there a way to stop X from unloading modules and switching off input devices? -- Apple Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard pairing broken in Dapper/Edgy/Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32415 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
