Bluetooth Mty Mouse won't reconnect automatically

[tamills]

My Bluetooth Mighty Mouse works just fine but I have to browse for it EVERY time I wake up might Macbook Pro laptop and turn the mouse on. I've waited for a long time and it never does connect. I've read some other (older) posts talking about 'favorite' bluetooth devices but my BT panel has nothing about 'favorites' on it.

My mouse is paired already (obviously, since it works) and I have the 'discoverable' check box for that mouse checked.

Can anyone tell me what else it takes to have the mouse recognized automatically?

Okay, this is bizarre.

My mighty mouse did reconnect, after 30 minutes! I reached over to move it around, click buttons and at first, nothing. Then suddenly it started up!!

This is the first time this has happened.

So I guess the question now is: Why the 30 minute wait???

Why not try other way? Turn first the mouse and then the laptop?

I have similar but smaller problem with my Mighty Mouse: When I boot my PC and run OpenSUSE Linux, it takes about a minute before the mouse can move the cursor. I know, a minute is small compared to the 30 minutes, but it feels long time, anyhow. On my Macbook Pro, the mouse is available almost at once.
