Hey..big thanks for the link..it works now.
There was a command to use that finally did the trick....
modprobe bluetooth
modprobe l2cap
modprobe rfcomm
modprobe hci-usb
Then I ran hcitool scan in the console (I had to push the reset button on the mouse while the scan was working as the mouse is not seen without the reset mode flashing).
Then I used hidd --connect (and plugged in the hardware address)..hooray!
Now I just need to make it load automatically at boot and slow down the mouse a tad.
Thanks all for the info..great...I'm wireless..
