There is! Your mouse can only connect to one bluetooth host at a time, so it needs to learn which host to connect to when switching. When you booted into into Windows, you told the mouse to connect to your pc (it doesn't care the OS of course). On my mouse, I have a 'Connect' button on the bottom. I think, what I had to do, was use bthidcontrol -a mymouse forget , then hit the 'Connect' button, then use bthidcontrol -a mymouse query to grab the HID config from the mouse, which I dumped into the HID daemon config file. Once I did the query, the mouse talked to the computer, and all was well. Note - that's all from memory, so it's probably a little wrong.. :) Eric -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Anderson Sr. Systems Administrator Centaur Technology Anything that works is better than anything that doesn't. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
