Update - After trial and error, RTFM being mostly non-usable without a good FM, I've found the following about this kit:
a) Mouse must be connected via usb to work (Fedora/Win2000) b) A specific driver for the Logitech base station is then required (Fedora/Win2000), otherwise mouse is wholly inaccessible (although keyboard works without this driver being installed...) I may therefore be able to isolate the modules required. However, in the short term, may I ask which wireless kit you're using Jim and what sort of range you get? My only reason for moving to bluetooth was for useable range - 10 metres as opposed to 6 feet for my other kit. I've been 'asked' (for Friday a.m.) to rig this up for a seminar room to show the wonders of LTS and need a reasonable degree of separation from wireless input devices to my LTS terminal.
