USB mouse not working upon bootup

[HarveyB]

Thanks Matt



That is the same line that I used (HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect
00:07:61:31:E0:4C --server") but to make sure I cut and pasted your
line into my file and it does work, with my mac address of course. I
would assme that I had somehow entered in my line incorrectly at the
time. 



But also as a test, I have also commented that line back out and (at
least on my system) once the connection is set, that line is no longer
needed, my mouse works either way. It only stops working if I change
the HIDD_ENABLED=1 back to 0.



Cheers
