I’ve just set up dual boot Win 7 with openSUSE 11.2 but unfortunately I have run into a couple of problems. One of them is that I cannot set up my Bluetooth mouse, which works under windows.
I am typing this from Windows right now (wireless is not working either) so I cannot reproduce the exact steps but anyways, when I try to add a new Bluetooth device it first finds my mouse, and keeps searching, and then removes the mouse from the list, and keeps searching, then it finds it again, … and it goes endlessly. If I select mouse on the list and click forward on the next screen I get an error saying that the mouse was not set up.
Hi
Your running gnome. Install bluez-hcidump then open two terminals, and
login as root user in both. In one run the command hcidump, in the
second run the command hcitool scan, you then need to cancel any popups
for pairing the mouse. Here are the commands;
su -
hcidump
and
su -
hcitool scan
It may take a few times (5~10) to see it connect as root, you probably
need to wait a few seconds between scans and also press the connect
button on the mouse. Once you see it appear in the terminal, exit and
run the bluetooth-properties command, eg;
exit
bluetooth-properties
You should see it paired, so you can now setup the device. Again it may
take a few goes to get it to connect, but once it’s done you should be
good to go.

Hi
Seems to be only an issue with mice, my BB connects fine. So you are
using Gnome? In the hcidump window do you see it connect to the mouse?
Are the batteries in the mouse fully charged? It may take longer, just
need to take a short break between scans, say 20~30 seconds and press
the mouse connect button on the base of the mouse and hold it for a few
seconds, then run the scan.
