Dell laptop and bluetooth mouse

I’m trying to pair a Dell bluetooth mouse with a Dell Latitude e6500 running OpenSuse 11.1 and Gnome 2.26 using the gnome bluetooth applet. But the applet never recognizes the mouse on device search.

If I do an hcitool scan it discovers the mouse and it’s address. However when I try to do a connect using hcitool it returns the prompt but does not connect.

Software installed on my system

bluez-utils-3.36-7.16
libbluetooth3-4.22-6.1.10
bluez-gnome-1.8-6.5
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.14-2.2.5
libbluetooth2-3.36-4.2
gnome-bluetooth-0.11.0-26.33

Any hints on troubleshooting this problem would be appreciated.
