I have a Microsoft bluetooth mouse and keyboard. On Gutsy, all I have to
do to get them to pair and be useful is to go to
System/Preferences/Bluetooth, go to Services, select "Input Service" and
click Add. I move the mouse around a little to get it to broadcast its
signal. Eventually it shows up in the list, and I pair up to it. After
that, I'm set. If it doesn't show up in the list, I close it out, and
try Adding again, possibly pressing the make/break connection button on
the mouse.
