Hi all,<br><br>I just got an Acer Ferrari laptop, installed FC4 x86_64 & updated it.<br>Now I'm trying to automate the activation of the Bluetooth mouse. To add<br>a twist the laptop has a button which enables/disables the Bluetooth

I've got an Acer laptop too. It seems the front button to enable
bluetooth triggers the internal bluetooth receiver usb
connect/disconnect. I don't know if anybody figured out how to do that
in software... </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">What I am trying to accomplish: any time I press the Bluetooth button

If you load the bluetooth service at boot-up (/sbin/chkconfig --level
345 bluetooth on) it should autoload the correct module. I don't have
to do that for my phone. Maybe it helps with your mouse...<br>
I don't have a bt mouse, so I can't help you with that I'm afraid.<br>
