i found this on the suseforums it worked like a charm...thanks to karl
Quote:
what I did to get it working was:
type in: hcitool scan
then press the connect button on the keyboard or mouse (whichever one you want to set up first)
it will hopefully find it. if not repeat the command until it does, holding in the button.
(when I tried it the first time my batteries were flat so I went crazy not finding anything until I noticed the red light under my mouse was off dry.gif )
when it finds it, it will give you an address like 00:0a:d3:a3:00 or something like that.
type in su (to log in as root)
type in hidd --connect <address from hcitool>
it should work. if it gives an error then press the connect button and try hidd --connect <the address> again.
I've found it also gives a permission denied error if you're not logged in as root.
Then repeat the whole process for the other device, starting with hcitool scan. you wont have to log in as root again though - unless you log out or otherwise close the session.
The other nice thing is that so long as you haven't changed anything important in bluetooth settings, hidd should set up your configuration to continue to find the mouse and keyboard even after you restart. It did on mine anyway and I didn't have to do anything else.
Note that is will definately get your mouse and keyboard working - it did mine - but I still haven't figured out how to get the mousewheel or side buttons to work.
HTH.

in additon to the above i also clicked on the KBlueetoothD service in the system tray....in configuration -> clicked on the device discovery tab -> i then added the microsft bluetooth keyboard and mouse as two separate devices...the service detected them automatically
just a reminder i had to run it a couple of times to make it work
hope this helps
