[Bug 442599] [NEW] Microsoft Bluetooth Elite Keyboard/Mouse Loses Connection

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Not sure what package this bug is related to, but it involves the
Microsoft Bluetooth Elite keyboard and mouse combination.

When setting up the keyboard and mouse combination initially using the
bluetooth-applet, both respond and work fine.  In addition, they will
still work after periods of inactivity after a few seconds of moving the
mouse or hitting keys on the keyboard.

However, the issue occurs directly after a reboot.  After rebooting and
GNOME fully loads and logs in the user (automatically), the keyboard and
mouse no longer work.  Both devices still show up under the bluetooth-
applet menu as "Microsoft Mouse" and "Microsoft Keyboard" and both have
grayed-out "Connected" with a blackend "Disconnect directly underneath.
In the "Preferences" applet, both device are also present but are not
connect nor connect after moving/click the mouse or keyboard for over 30
seconds continuously.

Strange behavior though - Upon reboot and the new Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic
splash screen appears, the bluetooth mouse DOES work (can't test the
keyboard since input isn't accepted at this point).  However, a few
seconds before the Ubuntu sound plays, this is when the mouse and
keyboard completely stop working.

This is from a fully fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic (development
branch) with all updates installed up until October 4th.

Microsoft USB dongle shows as "Broadcom BCM2035" under the "Friendly
Name" field in the bluetooth-applet's "Preferences" dialog box.
