Bug remains unsolved in latest Feisty PPC build. We tested iMac G5 rev B Apple bluetooth keyboard A1016 Apple bluetooth mouse A1015 Feisty daily build 29 Jan 2007 Alt-powerpc disc : "install-powerpc64" (kernel 2.6.20-5-powerpc64-smp)
So kernel >= 2.6.19 evidently does not solve the problem(s). The GDM lockup remains. To echo/confirm the original bug, we are saying that for this test, "once GDM comes up, my bluetooth devices are no longer functional." Workarounds offered above gave no usability. Typing keys and moving the mouse fail. There is some initial activity with keys but then lockup. You can type about 3 letters into GDM. The mouse cursor never moves. Installed bluetooth config files are (wrongly?) defaulted to HIDD_ENABLED=0 which was changed, but to no avail. Removing bluez* makes the keyboard work and GDM login possible. The Apple bluetooth mouse never works in GNOME at all with or without bluez*. It works fine in Mac OS X 10.4.8. The mouse hardware is ok. Booting "Linux single" gives a usable prompt and the keyboard works there, as it does with the alt installer. -- Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard Broken in Dapper/Edgy/Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/32415 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
