Talking MX900 on slackware


I just got it and want to install it. The hub is connected through usb so i guess i need to edit the XF86Config and the device/mount point in the pointer section to something like "/dev/ttyUB02" instead of "/dev/mouse".
Here's what i get when i type in the lsusb command:

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Virtual Hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Virtual Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Virtual Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 045e:003b Microsoft Corp. SideWinder Game Voice
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0451:2036 Texas Instruments TUSB2036 Hub
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 046d:c705 Logitech Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Virtual Hub

I guess that the Logitech Inc. is the mouse but how do i make linux use that usb bus? or maybe i need some modules too? if yes can your tell me how to do that

btw i tried to do a modprobe on bluetooth but it couldn't find the module :S

Struggling with this

I've been following 3 instruction guides from linked above page... still no success - but I think I'm close. I now have bthid, hid2hci compiled... but I get "File Not Found", I suspect part of my problem is that my /dev/input/bluetooth-in is 250, 0. I have no idea if that's right or wrong, but I get the feeling it ain't right. I'm looking for help too.

root@immutable:~# ls -l /dev/input/bluetooth-in
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 250, 0 Apr 25 01:01 /dev/input/bluetooth-in
root@immutable:~# bthid
Can't connect to HID service: No such file or directory
root@immutable:~# hid2hci
Switching device 046d:c705 to HCI mode failed (No such file or directory)
root@immutable:~# lsusb | grep -i logitech

Have it working now.

root@immutable:~# cat mouse.sh
#!/bin/sh
hcid
sleep 2
bthid -d
sleep 2
bthid -c 00:07:61:14:5c:a7



But I have to push the connect button about 10 seconds before the bthid -c every time.
