Re: [opensuse] Bluetooth mouse, 10.2, Acer Ferrari 4006

First, 10.2 installed without a significant hitch on an Acer Ferrari laptop. Much smoother, particularly in properly identifying and configuring the display than was an install of 9.3 on a Ferrari 4005. One problem is that while the Bluetooth adapter is recognized and bluetooth activated the mouse is not, seemingly, read at all though it shows up on the list of devices on Kbluetoothd. An arbitrary USB mouse works seamlessly. Any suggestions as to activating the Bluetooth mouse would be appreciated.

Try running hidd --search and have the mouse broadcasting it's address. After it's found, all you should have to do on boot is press one of the mouse buttons for it to be seen and used. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks, worked like a charm though I had to do su root to allow a file to be written (I assume). Scott -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
