[lugip] bluetooth mouse

[Jairo Medina]

   Hola:

   In case this issue is still alive, I found this link which pairs a
bluetooth headset with a Fedora desktop, these basic pairing steps may be
useful in the quest to get the mouse working/recognized.

  in addition, after reading /etc/init.d/hidd, it seems to me the hidd
daemon is the one needed  to enable the BT mouse and keyboard.
