Unfortunately it does not respond to wheel movement (pressing > it does generate middle click). are we talking about freebsd or pc-bsd here? i'm confused :) there were no changes in this area in freebsd. you still need to load ng_ubt(4) to recognize local bluetooth device (i.e. bluetooth dongle connected to your computer). usually its done via loader.conf, i.e. put something like ng_ubt_load="YES" into /boot/loader.conf. devd(8) will start/stop bluetooth stack as soon as it detects ng_ubt(4) device arrival/departure. bthidd(8), hcsecd(8) etc. are bluetooth service daemons, and, those needs to be started. usually one puts something like hcsecd_enable="YES" bthidd_enable="YES" into /etc/rc.conf to start bluetooth services. assuming all of the above is in place, and, mouse was paired previously, then it will work "out-of-the-box" > Now this all is a bit surprising for me.
