Actually, Device ID is mouse's (spelled correctly?) MAC address, kind of similar to network card's MAC address, meant to find the correct one in a sea of devices. Every device has different one.
I have Dell Inspiron 1525 and a Logitech V470 mouse, the combination of was also affected by this bug. Switching visibilty to 'Always' on inital device connection made it reconnect on reboot. Worked for days now, I was happy. But since today's updates (2008-10-22) it doesn't work anymore. In fact, it doesn't even show on the device list in bluetooth preferences. Also, the preference screen freezes instantly when i open it and the wizard won't even find my mouse this time. -- Bluetooth mouse does not re-establish connection after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
