[Bug 1094744] Re: MS Sculpt Touch Mouse needs to be re-paired periodically

[Tony Barnard]

I just bought this same mouse and I am having a similar problem.
However I am using Arch Linux with KDE not gnome.  I have discovered
that you can reconnect without re-pairing.  However it is not an
automatic process.

You must press the pairing button on the bottom of the mouse until the
it goes into pairing mode then on the host you must enter the following
command

>From a root terminal

# hidd --search

Or from a user terminal

$ sudo hidd --search

The mouse should then reconnect, without root it does not connect I have
tried it.

It seems the problem could be to do with permissions.  Not sure if this
helps get to the root of the problem, but it least it may save
unnecessary constant un-pair/re-pair actions until it is resolved.

It also shows the problem is not gnome related and more likely bluez
related.
