It recognizes the bluetooth device but it does not seem to communicate with my mouse. Can anyone suggest what to do next?

glad you made it so far, look now for bluetooth HID support, if theres any, you need to attach a driver for the mouses protocol to the bluetooth drivers...

worth a try is using only the hci_usb driver and attaching the microsofft? usb mouse driver, very speculative , rmmod the other protocol drivers, like bnep, etc.

maybe hci with rfcomm and the serial mouse driver module?
