bluetooth mouse cannot autoconnect after reboot

Hi, all

It's the first time I have been here and I'm new to archlinux. Formerly, I'm a fedora user. Now I have some issue with bluetooth mouse. My laptop is ThinkPad T61p and my bluetooth mouse is Microsoft Bluetooth Mini 5000. After I pacmaned bluez (since bluez-libs and bluez-utils are obsolete and I couldn't find them), indeed I can connect mouse by

hidd --search

with mouse set as visible.

But after I reboot, the connection lost, which means I should connect it manually again. In windows or fedora, I just need connect it once. I followed the bluetooth mouse wiki, but mouse still cannot auto-connect:(

Is there anybody who makes bluetooth mouse work well with latest bluez packet? Any suggestion will be appreciated! Thx!

Re: bluetooth mouse cannot autoconnect after reboot

Add 'bluetooth' to the DAEMONS list in /etc/rc.conf and edit /etc/conf.d/bluetooth.

Thx for your reply! Indeed I have added bluetooth to the DAEMONS list, enabled hidd in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth and added HIDD_OPTIONS, but still cannot make it.

Re: bluetooth mouse cannot autoconnect after reboot

Hi, all
Finally I managed to solve this issue by following this post http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 30#p500330

There is still a little problem left, i.e. when I paired bluetooth mouse in linux and I reboot into windows, it asked me to input key? and vice versa.
