Brent, > Does anyone know if it's possible to use a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse > 5.1? you need to have Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Device) support. someone wrote me an e-mail a while ago asking the same question. i tried to explain Bluetooth HID and how it works. its not a rocket science - you just need write a daemon that opens a couple of L2CAP connection to the mouse and read bytes from it. then you feed these bytes into /dev/console via ioctl(2) to move actual mouse pointer. i'm not sure if this person working on this. > I've had a play around with it, and was able to get bsd to see the > mouse, > but couldn't actually get the mouse working.
