I haven't tried any BT devices with my PS3 YDL yet, and I also have a wireless USB kb/mouse combo so haven't need to look into it. Will let you know.

 The Bluetooth Manager icon on the Gnome  desktop has checkbox to tic for 'discoverable' and I turn on pairing  on
 my kb and mouse but it never discovers  it.  I forgot what command I ran (yep, another newbie!) in the terminal,  but
 it "saw" my Dell BT mouse but it never  worked.  I think I used the 'hidd --search' switch...or something like  that.
  
 I did manage to get java installed  correctly.  It's ridiculous that you have to type in your life history at  IBM.com to d/l the
 <bleep!>ing software LoL.  IBM  also thought my IP addy was an overseas location and denied me the download at  first!
 They did send me an email a few hours  later apologizing for my "inconveiniance" and gave me a link to finally get  it...sheesh!
  
 And Terrasoft instructs you the  download the incorrect version of java to install from their HOWTO  pages!
  
 I did get my wireless connection working  though.
  
 Anyway, what command<s>, console,  app or whatever do I need to run to get the BT devices to connect if indeed  it is supported?
  
 Thanks!
