[Bug 220249] Re: Apple Wireless keyboard needs a manual disconnect before reconnecting.

[Robert Lange]

32-bit Hardy, upgraded from Gutsy. Using a diNovo Media Desktop Laser
keyboard and mouse in hci-mode, not hid-mode. Each device is paired and
trusted in bluetooth-properties and appears to work normally, for the
most part.

My system has original Hardy bluetooth configuration files -- I have
made no manual changes to them.

I have a very similar problem.  After a long break (15-20 minutes or so,
I don't know for sure as I have not timed it), when I move my mouse, I
get no response.  If I use another device to open bluetooth-properties,
I see that the mouse is connected, but it is non-responsive to my
movements or clicks.  If I use the bluetooth-properties dialog to
disconnect the mouse, the next time I move the mouse, it reconnects.

Note: my bluetooth dongle provides no lights to indicate whether it is
receiving data.

This is a big problem for me, because I bought my Bluetooth keyboard and
mouse set with the intention of eliminating my wired keyboard and mouse.

Fortunately, it *appears* as though the diNovo keyboard is not affected
by this.  It always seems to reconnect as soon as I hit a key,
regardless of how long I have left the system unattended.  So currently,
my workaround is to use the keyboard to navigate to the bluetooth-
properties dialog and disconnect the mouse, thereby restoring service to
the mouse.

This gets the job done, but is very annoying, as I have frequent
interruptions throughout the day.  I would be glad to help fix this, but
I don't know where to start.
