good :)

why?

well, actually its much simpler :) most of the work already was done. 
take a look at /usr/src/usr.sbin/bluetooth/{bthidcontrol,bthidd}. these 
are not yet connected to the build, but you should be able to compile 
and run them.

bthidcontrol(8) is a utility that can query bluetooth hid devices and 
create configuration for bthidd(8).

% nroff -man bthidcontrol.8 | less -- for more information

bthidd(8) is a bluetooth hid daemon (incomplete but mouse should work). 
it will read configuration created by bthidcontrol(8) and talk to 
bluetooth hid devices.

whats needs to be done:

1) finish and test bthidd(8) and vkbd(4) integration (bluetooth keyboard 
support). i've done most of it, but was never able to finish and test it :(

2) better handling of bluetooth mouse events, i.e. detect double clicks 
etc. and send appropriate ioctl(2) to /dev/console. double clicks etc. 
will work in X, but not in the text mode.

thanks,
