Question Toshiba Laptop Won't Run Bluetooth with Ubuntu

I am running Ubuntu 8.1 on a Toshiba Satellite P105-S9337 with built-in Bluetooth hardware. I cannot get the Bluetooth hardware to work with my Microsoft Bluetooth mouse.

I have installed the tosh software with no luck.

Does anyone have an idea as to what to try. I have several kernel mods suggested, but that is well beyond my current skill level.

Has anyone made the Bluetooth system run under Ubuntu?
