bluez-{utils|libs} 3.11-1: mouse can't reconnect

since bluez-{utils|libs} upgrade to 3.11-1, my bluetooth mouse can't reconnect to my computer. detailed steps:

0. fresh boot, with hidd --server running
1. put mouse in pairing mode
2. hidd --connect 00:12:5A:64:27:21
3. connection is successful, pointer moves
4. wait for mouse to go to idle mode
5. move mouse, pointer does not
6. hidd --list does not show mouse
7. redo 1.-3. ok.
8. reboot
9. same as 5.
10. same as 6.

some relevant info in dmesg, right after step 2.:

Bluetooth: HIDP (Human Interface Emulation) ver 1.2
input: Microsoft Mouse as /class/input/input6
l2cap_recv_acldata: Unexpected continuation frame (len 0)
l2cap_recv_acldata: Unexpected continuation frame (len 0)

step 3. can go on for hours if steps 4. or 8. never happen.

expected results: mouse should auto-reconnect in steps 5. and 9. and should be listed in steps 6. and 10.

reverting to bluez-{utils|libs} 3.10-1 make things work again.

Hi!
I've got the same problem...

I've found another solution:
just use "sudo hidd --server"

and your HID device wouldn't lost connection with computer...

Re: bluez-{utils|libs} 3.11-1: mouse can't reconnect

did you forget to enable hidd in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth?

I enabled it, so hidd --server is running, started by the rc scripts, and so that's not the issue. proof is, it works with 3.10, and not with 3.11...

this seems to be a sort of discoverablility issue. some other posts led me to add 'discovto 0;' in device section of hcid.conf, and it works now in 3.11 as it did in 3.10.

EDIT: it was working after a /etc/rc.d/bluetooth restart, but failed again upon reboot.
