[opensuse] Connecting a Bluetooth Mouse to 10.3 why is it so hard?
Got a new Dell Latitude D630 this week computer complete with 4 GB of ram, 160 GB SATA drive, DVD burner and a Dell Bluetooth Mouse. I wiped out that other OS and did a fresh install of OpenSUSE 10.3. After much angst I have finally gotten the Bluetooth mouse mostly working with OpenSUSE 10.3. The Gnome Bluetooth utilities are broken and do not work out of the box. After much searching on Google I discovered that there are updated Bluez utilities on GNOME:Community, which some people have managed to get to work, in may case, however, it was still a no go after I installed them. I finally gave up and removed all the Gnome Bluetooth packages with YAST then configured the Bluetooth Manager in Sessions - Startup Programs to run KDE kbluetooth instead of the broken and now removed Gnome bluetooth-manager. kbluetooth was able to see the mouse and connect it the first time I tried. The problem remains is that the Mouse does not work until after I login to the desktop and use the touchpad mouse to manually connect the mouse from with in the kbluetooth applet. How can I configure OpenSUSE to automatically connect to the bluetooth mouse so it 'just works'? I have spent the last two day searching Google for the answer and have tried all the suggestions but none of them have worked.
