Description Sjoerd Simons 2016-01-29 20:23:37 UTC
When using a bluetooth keyboard/mouse which haven't yet paired, it's impossible to log in using GDM as there is no ability to pair (at least) the keyboard.

OS X seems to solve this nicely by putting up a bluetooth pairing wizard in case no input device are connected, something similar might be nice for gdm.

I also encounter this problem on my Wacom MobileStudio Pro 16 which is a drawing tablet with no keyboard or mouse, only touch.

I am interested in seeing some mechanism to pair and connect keyboards and mice via GDM.
