[Bug 351059] Re: [jaunty ppc ps3] Mouse handled as touchpad on powerpc
I'm also affected by this bug. Using Jaunty PPC on a PS3, Microsoft Notebook Mouse 5000.

Its mouse works fine on my laptop (i386), but the mouse wheel doesn't work on my PS3 (powerpc). I used the hotkeys troubleshooting page of the wiki to find the root cause of the problem, and it seems to be a problem in hal.

[Bug 343727] Re: [Jaunty] Cannot connect to a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
Just want to mention that sudo hidd --search is a workaround that somewhat works... What I want to say with that: The mouse pairs only after first I turn off the mouse, wait 5 seconds (untill the green light comes off) then I press the Discovery button. Mouse works for a maximum of 30 minutes, sometimes less than 1 minute (it's not stable/usable). Mouse doesn't reconnect after it disconnects or upon reboot, hidd --search returns connection not allowed (someting like that) even if I press the discovery button again. Only way to make it reconnect is to turn mouse OFF completely then start again... Don't need to restart bluetooth service. I don't think this behavior is worth opening another bug, Bluez-compat is a deprecated package already, but without it the mouse does not connect at all ?! I'm using a PS3/Jaunty 9.04 final with Microsoft Notebook 5000 mouse.

[Bug 343727] Re: [Jaunty] Cannot connect to a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
I'm using a PS3 - PPC machine with JAUNTY final PPC with a Microsoft Notebook 5000 mouse, the only solution is sudo hidd --search. The problem with this approach is that exactly like in Ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10, the mouse looses connection after a random amount of time so it's not really usable (couple of seconds - 40 minutes)! If I reboot the machine the mouse does not autoreconnect as a user above me said, maybe every dongle is treated differently? I think this bug is pretty important, because it affects a majority of laptop users and PS3 users who ussually use bluetooth peripherals.

Just want to bring this bug into attention again, as there are people for who the workaround doesn't work or at best it's not a permanent solution! Somebody that uses the new Karmic ALFA and has a Microsoft mouse: How does it fare on Karmic? The bug is still present? Maybe the bluez package that is packaged with karmic already fixed this and it's a backport away from Jaunty!

http://www.serenux.com/2009/08/howto-get-a-microsoft-bluetooth- notebook-5000-mouse-working-under-ubuntu-jaunty/ QUOTE: The Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook 5000 mouse is an affordable, compact mouse that worked really well under Ubuntu up until Jaunty 9.04 when the Bluetooth stack changed so drastically that the mouse would not pair or work anymore. While the Ubuntu-provided Bluetooth stack has not been updated to correct this problem yet, the Blueman Project that Ubuntu uses keeps marching on in development and the latest version of of the Bluez stack and Blueman applet finally corrects this problem. Here’s how to employ it on your own setup. EDIT October 2009: I have tested and found that the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook 5000 mouse pairs and resumes successfully with the Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala Beta release without any changes or upgrades required to the Bluetooth software. This HowTo therefore only applies to Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope. 1. First we need to add the Blueman Project’s PPA to your Ubuntu Jaunty installation. Open a terminal and type in: $ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/blueman.list 2. You will be presented with a blank text editor. Type or copy & paste the following lines in: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/blueman/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/blueman/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main 3. Save your changes and exit the editor. . 4. Now update your package lists with: $ sudo apt-get update 5. At the end you will see a NO_PUBKEY error because your setup does not yet have the GPG key for the Blueman repository to authenticate the packages with. To fix this, import the key with: $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6B15AB91951DC1E2 6. Update your package lists again as per Step 4 and you should find the NO_PUBKEY error is gone now. . 7. By now your system is probably prompting you that there are updates to the Bluetooth stack available to install. We may as well stay at the terminal and do the updates there: $ sudo apt-get upgrade 8. Once that completes, the Bluetooth stack is now up to date, but we now need to install the Blueman applet to replace the Gnome version of it: $ sudo apt-get install blueman (this will automatically uninstall the bluez-gnome package as we don’t want it anymore) 9. Once that completes, logout and log back in again so that the new applet loads up to replace the old one. . 10. Now, switch the mouse into paring mode by holding down the pairing button on the base of the mouse until the LED on top of the mouse starts to alternate between red and green illumination. . 11. Now do a left-click on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray. The Bluetooth Devices window should appear. Within a few seconds of that window opening, you should see your mouse and any other nearby Bluetooth devices listed in the window. . BTApplet BTDevicesNotPairedYet. 12. Do a right-mouse click on the Microsoft Mouse entry and choose “Bond” (or ensure the Microsoft Mouse entry is selected and click on the “Bond” button in the toolbar). .BTDevicesBeginBonding . 13. You will be prompted for the PIN number of the mouse. Like most accessory items, this is just “″, so type that in and hit Enter, or press OK. . BTDevicesEnterPIN . 14. Once the mouse is bonded, you will see some signal coloured bars appear next to the Microsoft Mouse entry in the Bluetooth Devices window (which represent the Received Signal Strength, Link Quality and the Transmit Power Level). But you can’t use the mouse just yet. . BTDevicesBondedMouse . 15. Click on the “Trust” button in the toolbar. This will allow your mouse to reconnect without prompting you for permission when you turn it off and back on again (or when you reboot). . 16. Now do a right-mouse click on the Microsoft Mouse entry again and choose “Connect to Input Service” (or click on the “Setup” button in the toolbar and follow the Wizard). After a brief delay, you should now find that your mouse now moves the mouse pointer! . BTDevicesConnectInputService . 17. You can now close the Bluetooth Devices window. Pat yourself on the back. You’re done. Your mouse should automatically reconnect upon reboot, PC or Mouse power saving events (such as suspend), and if you turn on the mouse after booting up your system. I haven’t played with the Ubuntu Karmic Alpha yet to know if a more recent version of the Bluez Bluetooth stack is included. One presumes it will be, but if not, these instructions will probably work for Karmic as well. EDIT October 2009: I have tested this mouse with the Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala Beta release and it pairs first time perfectly and also resumes perfectly. There will be no need to use this HowTo with Karmic. P.S.: This is the best way to get rid of this annoyin
