anyone seen this or seen a solution.

mageia 2 64 bit KDE

Microsoft wedge touch bluetooth mouse.

on the bluetooth mouse i press the standby to make it discoverable, and in
kde bluetooth wizard discover it sees it, and i can add it and mouse works perfectly.

while im off doing something else i come back and the mouse has gone into sleep mode.

move it and it wakes up, but no longer will it work mouse.

if i select the device in known devices and connect , it just times out.

the only way to get it to work is to delete it, then rediscover and add it.

regards peter

OK this has been seen before in ubuntu, via this thread.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/175743

and in fedora 8 http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=188607

and im guessing the problem still exists in mageia 5 years on.

if i make the mouse visible again by holding on the standby for 5 seconds , then run hcitool scan, followed by a known devices, microsoft wedge mouse -> connect it then works.
