====== Bluetooth Mouse ======

I set my Microsoft Bluetooth Explorer mouse on Fedora Core 6 like this: ((http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~mdc1/samsung.html#btmouse))

As root, type:
<code bash>
# hidd --server --search
</code>
then push the reset button on the mouse until the hidd --server pairs with it.


You can check the pairing by doing (as user):
<code bash>
$ hidd --show
##:##:##:##:##:## Bluetooth HID Boot Protocol Device [####:####] connected [boot-protocol]
</code>


Now run:
<code bash># /sbin/chkconfig --list hidd</code>
if it is on for 4 and 5, you should be all set;

otherwise, you need: 
<code bash>chkconfig --level 35 hidd on</code>


From now on the mouse just pairs up after the system is booted by moving the mouse around until it responds.


You may also have to check if bluetooth is running.
<code bash># /sbin/chkconfig --list bluetooth
bluetooth       0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off</code>
