Help with Bluetooth

Hi, im new with arch and i am getting a weird problem.
I have a bluetooth mouse and i wan it to connect at startup to my computer. i have followed the bluetooth mouse article in the arch wiki but i dont know what is failing, if i put the bluetooth daemon to be automatically loaded at startup (in /etc/rc.conf)  it starts fine but the mouse doesnt connect . Once in the desktop enviroment if i run in a termina (as root) "hidd --search" (that command is suppose to search for and connect my mouse) it does nothing. And here comes the strange part... If i start the bluetooth damon manually in the graphic enviroment it simply works! the mouse connects automatically just restarting the bluetooth daemon!
May i be missing something? how can i get my mouse working withouth manually restartin the daemon?
Thx!!

Re: Help with Bluetooth

Bluetooth is depending on dbus. Is the bluetooth daemon before or after dbus or hal in your daemon-string?
Moving it after dbus and hal could make it work at boot, I think.
