can't pair BT keyboard/mice

hello,
i can't pair BT keyboard and mice under OS X leopard 10.5.7 installed on pc hardware using ipc osx86 10.5.6 final dvd. I could not find any answers on the web, nor on the osx86 forums, so i figured out maybe ill try my luck on linux/unix forum, after all from what i know os x is basicly a unix...

the problem is - bt manager can see the KB/Mice, but when it tryes to pair with it - asks to type a pass key on the keyboard and press enter - nothing happens, and it just times out saying "failed to pair the device, make sure bla bla bla".

i've tried to instal MSBIOS patches, and changing BT adapter (i have 3 now...) nothing works.
though everything did work the first time i installed os x, and worked after i updated os x to newer version, and restored my kernel extensions, but after i restarted - nothing works.

my question really is - if you do know what may help - please post it, and if you don't, maybe you could explain to me what part controls all the bluetooth related stuff - is it the kernel (and then i'll try to reinstall with different one - curently it's vanilla kernel), or it's related to kernel extensions, or is it something else.

also i'd like to try to pair using command line - i did so once on UBUNTU, but with a help of my friend (who is unavailable now...) and it worked, i thought maybe it'll work here, but i can't find a guide on a web on what to type in the command line (iam very new to this). i'd be glad if someone could post a guide on how to do so, or a link...

thanx in advance!

my specs are:

ASUS Maximus Formula, Q6600 2.4GHz, NVIDIA 8600 GT 256mb.
OS X 10,5,7 (updated) installed with iPC 10,5,6 final dvd: Vanilla kernel; Extensions: Legacy Timemachine Fix; NVdarwin 256mb; Intel ICHx SATA Drivers; AD1988B; Marvell Yukon 88E8056; Patched USB drivers; SATA Driver Icon Fix (New); Finder 10.5.5 + keyboard.prefpane; USB mount fix;
Applications: AppleHDAPatcher; EFI Studio; OSx86 Tools Utility; Perian; Universal OSx86 Installer; NTFS 3-G + MacFUSE

My Linux is afraid of mice

Okay here's the lowdown: I try Linux out and I think it kicks ass. But I can't use my little scrolli-bobber middle mouse button that I have become so attached to. So I try to just select some random 3-button mouse config from 'kontrol-panel' in KDE and reboot (stupid, STUPID move). Now I can't...

vmmouse

VMMOUSE(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							VMMOUSE(4)

NAME

       vmmouse - VMware Mouse input driver

SYNOPSIS

       Section "InputDevice"
	 Identifier "idevname"
	 Driver "vmmouse"
	 ...
       EndSection

DESCRIPTION

       vmmouse	is  an XFree86 input driver for mice.  The driver supports most available mouse types and interfaces.  USB mice are only supported
       on some OSs, and the level of support for PS/2 mice depends on the OS.

       The vmmouse driver functions as a pointer input device, and may be used as the X server's core pointer.	Multiple  mice	are  supported	by
       multiple instances of this driver.

CONFIGURATION DETAILS

       Please  refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details and for options that can be used with all input drivers.  This section only
       covers configuration details specific to this driver.

       The driver will automatically detect if the vmmouse device is present and if it is not, it will load the regular mouse driver  and  attempt
       to fall back to it. There are no vmmouse specific options, but if you set mouse(4) options, they will be passed on.

       See the mouse(4) man page for details on these options.
