Logitech Travel Mouse issues under Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic)

There are many issues related to Logitech blue-tooth mouse and other blue-tooth devices. It's been several months I have problems with my Logitech cordless laser mouse under Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic). It just stopped working after waking up my Lenovo T61 and I was not able to get it working without rebooting. Sure it is Ok when you use your computer only for browsing and there is nothing to restart but browser, but it is quite annoying if you have to restore your development environment that includes several heavy applications like eclipse with around 100 plug-in projects.

Simple google search gives around 15 000 results. Those results don't contain exact solution to solve my problem and I had to read a lot of them before I found couple comments that gave me a way to get my mouse back without required reboot.

After removing all bluetooth related software and installing bluez-gnome by

$sudo apt-get install bluez-gnome

I found exact steps to restore my mouse after waking up.

1. Modify hcid.conf file: change 'security' option to 'auto' and Add your device as

device MAC_ADRESS {
    name "Bluetooth Laser Travel Mouse"
}

where MAC_ADRESS is MAC address for your mouse which is usually printed on mouse

2. Press 'connect' button on mouse

3. Execute

$sudo hcitool inq

and you'll get something like

00:07:61:DE:7B:29 clock offset: 0x3389 class: 0x002580

4. Execute

sudo hidd --search

and after it says

Connecting to device 00:07:61:DE:7B:29

you'll get your mouse back
