Hi! I've tried googling and reading various threads here to figure out how to get a bluetooth mouse (the original Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse, no less!) working with the N900.

I've read that page about /etc/bluetooth/main.conf, removing the profile "input" from the list of disabled profiles and restarted bluetooth, even the whole device. Thanks to this change I am able to search and find my mouse in the Bluetooth setup user interface, but pairing won't work - it requires me to enter a PIN code or it won't let me pair.

I've tried entering 0000 and 4102 (from the bottom of my mouse) as pin codes but it always fails to authenticate. Googling some more generic Linux bluetooth instructions, I run into command-line instructions for using hidd to connect to a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard, but hidd is not present on the device.

I've tried pushing the "Connect" button in my mouse in various combinations of trying to pair etc. but no difference..

If I just downloaded the bluez stuff and compiled hidd in Scratchbox would I perhaps be able to get somewhere with it?
