Problem with bluetooth mouse

Hello.
I'm trying to get my Logitech V470 to automatically connect/bind to the computer, but without results. I have read that you can edit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf and make the mouse binds itself automatically to the computer, but I do not know how.  Right now I have to manually pair the mouse to the computer each time I use the mouse.

P.S. I have read the wiki.

Until now I've been unable to get the same mouse to pair automatically with bluez 4.x. I rolled back to 3.x.

Re: Problem with bluetooth mouse

Same problem here.

Not long ago I decided to upgrade the system, & was asked to install BlueZ 4.39 instead of 3.x...
After this "update" I am unable to connect my BT-mouse normally.
Although connection can still be established via

# hidd --connect <addr>

, neither running HIDD on boot with "--master" & "--server" nor manual startup works now.

I ask it here because I've failed to find any documentation concerning BlueZ 4.x on the Internet
Can anybody explain how to run HIDD properly?
Or at least share please BlueZ 3.x to downgrade... http://archlinux.alouche.net/ contains nothing except
