I've had similar experiences. I'm actually running OpenSuse
10.3 on my
laptop now. I'm running gnome but I have to run kbluetooth to get the
mouse to work. Couldn't get gnome to see it at all. Even with
kbluetooth, the mouse quits after a certain amount of inactivity.
Haven't figured out how much though. When this happens I have to
manually make kbluetooth reconnect. Very frustrating.
I use the following for bluetooth mouse - it seems to work reliably:
hidd --server --search (as root)
Then reset the mouse and it will pair up.
Then chkconfig --level 35 hidd on
That is it ! (Bluetooth should already running but check first)
(Can check as user by hidd --show to check it is paired)
