Installed my Targus bluetooth notebook mouse (a lovely Xmas pressie!) on my Dell notebook - works like a charm and does not require a BT dongle on my notebook (saves a USB port).

But alas, when you restart the notebook, it does not work - at first I removed and re-added the device - what a drag.  Then found the answer on Google - all you have to do is click a few mouse buttons and voilá - it reconnects automatically. Obvious in retrospect, I suppose - but dragging the mouse around (which is the really obvious thing to do), does not re-connect the mouse...

So the moral of the story is RTFM (read the f ' ing manual!), or just fiddle around 'til it works!

Happy 2006 all you bloggers!

The scroll wheel does not work, so I have to spend more time reconnecting the mouse. .... If you have other Blue Tooth devices, there may be conflictions. ... Boot the problematic computer in Clean Boot Mode and confirm if the issue is caused by any startup items. Clean boot. =

I paired my mouse/system using the bluetooth applet in GNOME (8.10) and it works; I have my Bluetooth set as always visiable, but upon reboot my mouse doesn't work. I click and mouse my mouse but nothing happens. I have to turn off my mouse and on again for the computer to see it. Public Relations
