Bluetooth mouse doesn't use hci server but hidd; personnally I use an acer mouse on a ferrari serie laptop under suse10.2 and it works but sometimes you have to be very patient; to search for devices type hidd --search, for help for options type hidd --help etc...

I did this on my Dell 9400, and it was so easy I don't remember all the details. Basically it just worked.

I run Kbluetooth.

I right clicked the tray icon and selected Configuration / Input Devices and then on the input divices pop-up I selected Add new device just after pushing the Find-Me button on the bottom of the mouse.

My mouse was a Dell Branded Anatel. Your Bluetooth address and pin are usually printed on the bottom of the mouse.

Really??lucky man I don't have it on my mouse (acer ferrari); the adress of the device is given by hidd --search or hidd --show; once it is know, keep it safe and to connect type: hidd --connect Michel You might

need these.

My laptop's bluetooth was built in, not a dongle, so that might be different than your situation, because the dongle has to first get thru the USB layer before you can even talk to it.

not sure if this is a similar device but i have a Logitech mouse that uses a usb dongle all i do is plug the dongle in and bingo mouse up and running on 10.3 on 11.0 i have to leave it out till everything has settled down then plug the dongle in that is yet another reason that 11.0 has been canned

Yes,but USB is a totally different problem than Bluetooth. I've only run 11.0 on virtual machines, which hides the bluetooth from the actual OS, but 10.2 and 10.3 just found the bluetooth automatically. I don't remember if there was something to do in yast or not. -- ----------JSA--------- There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those that can read binary and those that can't. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
