Hi,
I'm on Fedora 8 and was given a Targus blueooth mouse for Christmas. The mouse works great, but so far I've had to start the mouse using one of the gui tools(KDE or Gnome) or from the command line. These methods work fine, but I was wondering if there is a way to automate the process. For example, I plug my bluetooth adapter into the usb, turn the mouse on and set it to scan. Is there a way to have the laptop and mouse associate automatically without having to use one of the gui tools or the command line? I've googled this one using terms like auto-connect or auto-pair and haven't hit anything that helps.
If anyone has any ideas how to handle this I would be most appreciative. I really don't mind using one of the methods mentioned above, but was just sort of wondering if some sort of auto-connect sequence is possible..
Happy Holidays,
