bluetooth mice

[Mail Lists]

 Hi:

   Whats the light and the way to make these work seamlessly?

   I have a kensington blue tooth mouse - and IBM t42 laptop.

   After FN-F5 to turn on bluetooth - and service bluetooth start
   I can get the mouse useable by pressing the mouse scan button
   and then doing
 
   hidd --connect <address>

   And it works brilliantly - for a while. If I leave the mouse
   alone it goes into sleep mode (battery save I suppose) - 
   now wiggling the mouse wakes up the mouse but there is no
   longer a connection to the computer.

   trying hidd --connect <address> 
   does not get connected either.

   I have to press the mouse scan button and repeat and 
   hidd --connect.

   There _must_ be an easier way - no?

   What I'd like is when I wiggle the mouse and it wakes up
   to be back in business without all the 2 extra steps.

   Wisdom sought ...

    regards,

     g/
