Trying to make Ubuntu recognize and use my MS intellimouse 2.0 for bluetooth, i can have KDEbluetooth framework detect it, but it wont use it, any idea on some source code i could put in for what i need? no one seems to have an answer to this

Allright I did this to get my bluetooth mouse working on my Dell Inspiron 700m:

I downloaded from synaptic these: bluez-bcm203x, bluez-hcidump, bluez-pcmia-support, bluez-pin, bluez-utils, gnome-bluetooth, libbluetooth1, libbtctI1, libgnomebt0, python2.4-libbtctI
Some of those could be an overkill though! (I am assuming as you said Ubuntu not Kubuntu you are using gnome)
Then I did this: firstly in terminal I typed

sudo modprobe hidp

then:

sudo hcid

then:

sudo hidd --server --search

when it says "Connecting to AA:BB:CCD:EE:FF" the mouse should run then.

I am still trying to get mine to run on startup but I made a custom launcher for my panel using "sudo hidd --server --search" to connect with the press of one button!

It worked for me so I hope that helps.
