[acm321]

** Summary changed:

- error connecting to wiimote
+ error connecting to wiimote

** Description changed:

  Hi, I'm trying to pair my Wiimote with my computer, and when I go to
  device setup it detects it but it trys to connect and it says that the
  pairing failed. When I run "hidd --search" it gives me this:
  
  Searching ...
  	Connecting to device 00:1B:7A:DE:32:09
  HID create error 13 (Permission denied)
  
  Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
  I am running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid
+ ............
+ EDIT
+ It turns out, than when I add sudo before hidd --search, it connects.
+ Unfortunately, I can't connect through the GUI with Bluez, and I'm not sure why.
