I was considering getting a bluetooth mac mouse with my new g4 ibook 12" and was wondering if the current version of gentoo had built in bluetooth support. If you could let me know it would be much appreciated. |

Bluetooth works fine on my Powrbook (built-in BT module). But since an firmware update under MacOS X the bluetooth device does not show up anymore under Linux - but my bluetooth keyboard now works even withouth the bthid software from the BlueZ CVS... Thats strange! *sigh*

yeah, after that mentioned firmware upgrade, i was stumped as well. It seems the bluetooth device now reports itself as a USB HID device (that may explain HighOnBonsai's keyboard working...dunno...). You likely need to run 'hid2hci' (i believe that's the name of it) to change the state of the device from HID to a "real" BT device. My phone <-> laptop BT worked again after that.
good luck _________________ jñanam bandha |

Thanks a lot @fafhrd! This solved the problem:
Where "-0" is optional (to switch devices from hid to hci mode and -1 vice versa).
