Hello,
I am now trying to use the same Microsoft mouse under the latest
supported release of Ubuntu (9.10) on the same Lenovo laptop. I am still
unable to make the mouse work properly with this machine. In fact, I can
no longer get the machine to recognize the mouse at all, apparently.
If I click on the Bluetooth icon in the top right of the screen, I get a
menu which shows 'Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000' under
'Devices'. This is presumably a left-over from my earlier attempts to
get it to work (with 8.10). Choosing 'Connect' with the mouse nearby and
active does nothing.
If I choose 'Se tup new device...' I can get to the 'Device search'
window which shows 'Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse' on the first
line (even though the mouse is now turned off!) and a spinning icon next
to 'Searching for devices...' which just seems to stay there forever.
I can however highlight the mouse line ('Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook
Mouse') and then the forward button becomes active. Clicking that
immediately takes me to a new window which says 'Device Setup Failed'
with a message 'Setting up 'Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000'
failed. From there the only options are 'Restart setup' (which does the
same bs all over again) and Close.
So it appears to still 'know about' a mouse that is switched off, it
can't connect to it when it is switched on, and it can't see it when it
is in 'visible' mode. In short it is impossible to use this mouse with
this machine under Ubuntu 9.10.
