Bluetooth detection


FC9
Getting my BlueTooth Mouse to function after logging on, If I have mouse 'on' and 'push the detect button on bottom' ,
it won't detect.
I have to click on Bluetooth Icon down on Panel ,using a USB mouse, then tell it to 'Connect' and then it works great, then I remove USB mouse.
Something is not setup correct , what is it ?

Probably you should set it to connect to your mouse automatically. That's probably it; I don't think Bluetooth devices are automatically connected (paired) because of the potential dangers of it - consider automatically pairing your phone if you didn't want it to.

Using the KblueMon applet down on Panel (FC9) is were I have to "Connect" to get bluetooth Mouse to work.

It has a Paired/Trusted Devices window, but the Mouse is not listed there.

There is a;

Note: The pairing procedure to add new devices will be started automatically if you access
a service which requests a secure connection.

My question is, What service do I have to access, to get the mouse accepted as Trusted Device.

I can turn mouse on and push on detect switch on bottom, but it still doesn't detect, after
rebooting an login to Desktop.

This FC9 installation is on a EeePC laptop 8gb 1gb and the install went off without any problems.
All I have to do is install Madwifi drivers for Wifi card , and drivers for builtin Webcam.
