logitech mx1000 bluetooth mouse not connecting

i've followed the instructions on these two pages:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_Mouse

but i've succeeded in getting the mouse to connect only once.

basically, what i did was:

1. installed bluez.
2. set 'HIDD_ENABLE=true' in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth.
3. started bluetooth service.
4. added bluetooth to the daemons array.
5. in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth, set 'HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect <bta>"'

unfortunately, the mouse does not connect at startup. and when i try to connect manually by typing 'hidd --connect <bta>', i get an error 'Can't get device information: Connection timed out'.

when i type 'hcitool scan', nothing comes up. any ideas?

thanks!

Re: logitech mx1000 bluetooth mouse not connecting

still having the same trouble. i managed to connect the mouse once. here's what i did

1. sudo hciconfig hci0 up
2. hcitool dev
3. hcitool inq
4. sudo hidd --connect <bta>

after that, the mouse connected.

i thought everything was all right, so i edited the bluetooth file to connect the mouse at boot.

to test, i rebooted, but the mouse didn't connect. also, when i try to connect it manually by following step 4 above, all i get is: 'can't get device information: connection timed out'.

how can i connect the mouse?
