[Bug 343727] Re: [Jaunty] Cannot connect to a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

[John K]

I am using an Asus eee 1000 on Jaunty (then Beta). I have been running
error free with my Microsoft 5000 bluetooth mouse until today. I used
the "sudo hidd --search" command which was entirely successful and
permanent fix.

Today updates loaded the new bluez suite of packages updating me from
version 4 to version 4.1. It immediately caused my mouse to malfunction
again. Messing around with pairing it up was only a temporary solution.
After reboots, repairing, re-appling the hidd --search command I gave
up.

I force regressed the package suite bluez from 4.1 to 4 using Synaptic
Package Manager, Package tab, Forced Version tab.

I immediately got my mouse back. I tested by allowing the netbook to
sleep and reboot. All reconnected shortly after boot up.

Looks like this update is broken. Regression of the package worked for
me.
