Hi Marcel,

I created the uinput node with the following command
# mknod /dev/input/uinput c 10 223
and the bthid error (bthid[2040]: can't open input device: no such file or
directory (2))  is gone, but for some reason I still cant move the cursor.

- I checked the hcidump and it shows all the data coming from the MS
wireless mouse as I move the mouse and click

- the tail -f /var/log/messages shows the following
    Bluetooth HID service started
    Connected: Microsoft Five Button Mouse
    Vendor HID usage 0xff00fe01 value 0x1
    adequate battery

- when I do an lsmod I see
    Module         Used by                Not     tainted
    uinput            1
    hci_usb          1
    l2cap              5
    bluez              4 [hci_usb l2cap]
    input              0 (autoclean)    [uinput]

I doubt the following, if anyone can verify it would be great

- my XF86Config-4 file consists

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier "MSmouse"
         driver "mouse"
         option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
         option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
         option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
         option "Buttons" "5"
         option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
EndSection

now is the protocol IMPS/2 correct for a MS Intelliexplorer mouse (I copied
it from the Logitech example) ?

- also in the option "Device" the value specified as "/dev/input/mice" does
it need to be /dev/input/uinput or something else ?

- does the mousedev module need to be loaded to make it work ?

I am determined to get this MS mouse working....;)

thanks for your patience
Deepesh
