    OK, I got the mouse working by doing the following steps:
    service bluetooth start
    modprobe hidp
    hidd --server
    hcitool scan
    Scanning ...
            00:0A:94:C0:A6:D0 Bluetooth Mouse
    hidd -c 00:0A:94:C0:A6:D0

    Now how do I get all that to happen when my computer boots? I don't mean
    "add it to your startup scripts", I mean, isn't there some kind of
    bluetooth HID configuration tool?

    Futhermore, I want it to detect when that mouse is near and automatically
    connect to it. If that mouse is not nearby, obviously it should do
    nothing. Also, I want it to ignore all bluetooth devices except for that
    mouse.

    Any ideas? Thanks.
