OK, I got the mouse working by doing the following steps:
service bluetooth start
modprobe hidp
hidd --server
hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:0A:94:C0:A6:D0 Bluetooth Mouse
hidd -c 00:0A:94:C0:A6:D0
Now how do I get all that to happen when my computer boots? I don't mean
"add it to your startup scripts", I mean, isn't there some kind of
bluetooth HID configuration tool?
Futhermore, I want it to detect when that mouse is near and automatically
connect to it. If that mouse is not nearby, obviously it should do
nothing. Also, I want it to ignore all bluetooth devices except for that
mouse.
Any ideas? Thanks.
