Comment 18 for bug 281580

I am using MythBuntu Intrepid. The standard Bluetooth Wizard setup my bluetooth mouse fine, but then for no reason at all the mouse just stopped working. I'm assuming it disconnected due to inactivity as this behavior was described earlier in the ticket.

Clicking repeatedly on the mouse, turning off and on didn't help any.

Trying to reconnect through the Bluetooth Wizard just stated that "Pairing Failed". So, after some frustration and googling I found this ticket.

I have just installed "bluez-compat" and run "sudo hidd --search". The mouse was found, connected and now seems to be working fine.

I am disappointed that something as mainstream as using a bluetooth mouse doesn't work robustly out-of-the-box in the latest and greatest release of Ubuntu.
