Dell XPS m1210 Bluetooth & Ubuntu – Logitech MX1000

Earlier tonight I was trying to use my Logitech MX1000 but the Ubuntu Bluetooth Manager simply wouldn’t detect my mouse. The alternative solution I found was to have the detection done in shell.

Once I hit the connect button on my mouse, I typed “sudo hidd –search” into shell and let it work its magic. After a few second it found the MAC ID that belonged to my MX1000. Another second later I was able to use my mouse in gnome.

Hopefully this helps someone out. I’ll try it with my Logitech diNovo Edge later. I really hope to get the bluetooth manager to pick up the devices on its own. This way I can get rid of my Logitech Bluetooth adapter and hopefully I will be able to sync my Dell Axim x50v to with Ubuntu.
