Talk:Bluetooth mouse
From Gentoo Linux Wiki
which packet contains hidd? --lirel
-- Apparently bluez.org has deprecated hidd in favor of dbus. Looking at their webpage, though, the new service model looks like much more of a PITA to install. I'm just gonna re-emerge bluez-util with the 'old-daemons' USE flag so I can use HIDD. Maybe when they finish documenting the new system it will work better than the old...

Seems connecting a bluetooth-mouse/keyboard just became really simple:
see here: http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/Input
and http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/InputDevices
Actually it should work right out of the box now - but you need to be running some application that catches those dbus-messages e.g. kbluetooth does.
