[Bluez-users] Current information on bluetooth mouse support

["Robert Moskowitz" <rgm@htt-consult.com>]

I am trying to find information on bluetooth utilities.  Everything I 
have found so far is either at least a year old, and does not map to 
files on my system.

Anyway, I have an HP NC4010.

I am using a Cables Unlimited dongle:

So far I have been working with my IOgear mouse.

After much effort, I have gotten it connected and authenticated.  Now if 
I turn it on and press its connect button I can then do a:

hidd --search
Searching ...
        Connecting to device 00:0A:94:C0:C3:19

and

 hcitool info 00:0A:94:C0:C3:19

                <power control> <transparent SCO>

But I loose connection with this mouse if it goes idle long enough, and 
so far I have had to power it off and reconnect.

I have read messages like:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.user/6609/match=automatically+accepting+pairing+mouse

But I don't have a /etc/default/bluez-utils file to add:

	HIDD_ENABLED=1
	HIDD_OPTIONS="--server"

Nor can I figure out what file this now goes into.

Also how do I get the Gnome bluetooth tools working on my Centos desktop?

I still have my headphone, stereo headset, and TREO 650 to connect....
