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!
