Comment 65 for bug 249448

In Kubuntu and Xubuntu 9.04 (for both 32-bit and 64-bit PCs) I can get my bluetooth mouse and (apple) keyboard working - it being easiest to use the command sudo hidd --connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (device MAC number) - though it generally takes several attempts. However, neither ever work on reboot (even after trying the 'hciconfig hci0 pscan' solution suggested here). For the keyboard I always have to remove the battery cover, reinsert it and hit the button on the RHS each time I reboot and so that it can be re-detected. After reboot in version 8.10 both mouse and keyboard always worked. My bluetooth dongle is by Cambridge Silicon Radio, ID 0a12.
