    Well, this certainly sucks...

    I just received my new intellimouse for bluetooth, and although it's working ok, it is not completely supporte by my internal bluetooth minipci card.

    The thing is, the drivers/software (intellipoint 5.5) will only work with the included dongle. I can use my internal BT, but with only generic functionality (no tilt wheel, no programmable buttons).

    I've spent the last two hours googling to no avail, if anyone has any idea how to get full functionality with Bluesoleil and intellipoint it will be very much appreciated.

    I was running the latest drivers but this is really a matter of support; MS simply won't support the mouse if it's running on anything besides it's dongle...

    So, being a DIY guy as I am, I went and spent a good afternoon hacking the point32.inf file. I went as far as to install the other 2 driver (sys) files for the mouse besides the generic HID interface. So far, I can program buttons in the mouse inside intellipoint using Bluesoleil's VHID device drivers, but still can't use the horizontal scrolling and acccelerated vertical scrolling...

    This
    Is
    Personal
    Now.

    If anyone wants to help, I'll gladly share my progress/INF files.
