do you have "gnome-bluetooth" installed? try "rpm -q gnome-bluetooth". If not installed try "yum install gnome-bluetooth".

The files in /etc/bluetooth are the configuration files. To start bluetooth just give service bluetooth start or /etc/init.d/bluetooth start. then proceed using hciconfig -a and hcitool scan

Hi guys,

I'm having problem with bluetooth too: I installed bluez things, and both
/etc/init.d/bluetooth start
Starting Bluetooth services: [ OK ]
sbin/service bluetooth start
Starting Bluetooth services: [ OK ]

seems to start.
Now running
[root@29:2a:ff ~]# hciconfig -a

you can see what I get, then
[root@29:2a:ff ~]# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
[root@29:2a:ff ~]#

and now? :D
I'm quite a newbye so please be patient! :p
My only BlueTooth device is a mouse, which I would like to test in order to see if everything is working. Actually I already have 2 mice installed (touchpad and USB mouse): do I have to configure this 3rd mouse in xorg.conf too?

If you are getting a ...UP RUNNING... with hciconfig -a, this means your bluetooth adapter/dongle is working fine and is detected well under FC.
Now, hcitool scan is not able to find your mouse. You could try the following things
1> make sure that bluetooth is turned on in your mouse(if it works that way)
2> check the battries in your mouse
3> try with another bluetooth device, like a bluetooth enabled cell phone to check if it finds the device

I earlier had FC3 installed and my Nokia6681 mobile was detected by PC and viceversa. Also, I was able to transfer files.

Now in FC4 though my mobile is detected by PC but mobile does not detect PC. Consequently I'm not able to transfer files also.

When I try in Win98, the mobile detects PC and files can be transferred. It means there is some problem with FC4.

Please suggest solution anybody.

Thanks
