Confirmed on feisty (up-to-date as of posting) on i386: I can only use my bluetooth keyboard and mouse (Microsoft Office Desktop Elite) in HIDP-mode.
Patching the kernel (2.6.20-10-lowlatency) with the latest patch from www.bluez.org (-mh1) resolves the issue. I had the same problem in several other distros (most notably gentoo), since about kernel version 2.6.12 (I had no bluetooth set before that). I am curious why the bluez.org site states that its patches are included in the more recent kernels if I had to apply the patch manually to all the kernels since then to resolve the issue I have. Proposed solution: Include the -mh-patch in the standard ubuntu kernel by default, especially if this patch fixes the multitude of issues other users seem to be having (tests, anyone?). As an afternote: The bluetooth set worked fine in Edgy until about 12/06. -- 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
