He would be talking about the bluetooth receiver charging base that comes with the MX900. It proxies Logitech bluetooth mice and keyboards as usb devices. > from what i can see, it looks like the mouse does not like new host.=20 > most hid devices will "lock" on the first device that contacted it. > that is why you need to "reset" the mouse to make sure it "forgets" > about previous host. I use my MX900 and Targus mice in both FreeBSD and Windows XP. Rebooting back an forth doesn't break the connection to either. I would guess that the MX900 is sensitive only to the hardware address, since both OSes use my notebook's internal bluetooth receiver. I have found, however, that something does get broken if use bthidd with Windows XP hibernated. When I bring Windows XP back out of hibernation, I have to have the machine search for devices to clear the stale connection, then push the connect button on the mouse, search again and manually reconnect the mouse. > another thing you could try to do is to force paring between=20 > the mouse and pc. you need to know default pin-code for the mouse. > check the manual to see if its there, if not - try "0000" - four > zeros. The MX900 doesn't support pin-based pairing AFAIK. It "auto-pairs" by remembering the last host to which it was connected and restores the connection whenever the host shows up.
