This is a new install of F20, with all updates applied, using KDE. The machine has an Nvidia G630 graphics card and a Bluetooth USB dongle.
Running the default Nouveau video driver, I was able to connect my Sondstrom Bluetooth mouse with no trouble. I then installed the Nvidia proprietary drivers using akmod, rebooted, and now can't connect to the mouse. I get the KDE connection dialogue, the mouse appears as a device, I click on Connect and nothing happens. Turning the mouse off and on makes no difference, nor does pressing the mouse's connection button.
I'm assuming this has something to do with the Nvidia driver, but of course that could be completely wrong. Any hints would be appreciated.

I don't have any Bluetooth on my system. But I am using a USB mouse/keyboard and information on it being configured is found in my Xorg.0.log file.
Is there anything there?

The mouse appears to be working: Otherwise you couldnĀ“t "click on Connect".

The batteries are empty? Have you tried new ones?
Have you verified that the bluetooth dongle is otherwise working? Are there any log file entries, or entries in relevant configuration files, related to the problem?
You could get a nice trackball and connect it via PS/2.

-- Getting tired of non-Fedora discussions and self-serving posts
Various things about mice, such as:
[ 3.188] (II) config/udev: Adding input device 2.4G Receiver (/dev/input/mouse1) [ 3.188] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device. [ 3.188] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.
Note that I still have a wired mouse connected while doing this. It shows up as /dev/input/mouse0.
I did a 'tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log' while plugging/unplugging the wired mouse, and that all shows up as expected.
I can post the whole Xorg.0.log file if anyone wants to take a look.

I'm using a different (wired) mouse to do the configuration.

They are new. The mouse works with a different Fedora 20 system (laptop with built-in Bluetooth) and also worked on this system until I installed the Nvidia driver.

No driver seems suspicious....

For now I solved the problem by using a different (non-BT) wireless mouse.

Have you compared the log files of the two? Does the mouse work with the USB dongle on the laptop?
Is it possible that the graphics card now uses different frequencies that interfere with the dongle?

Just to close this off: I removed and reinstalled the BT mouse under Gnome and now it works (including under KDE). So it's probably not the Nvidia driver.
