I have a Logitech MX900 mouse, up and running on my Dell Inspiron 9300
notebook, through the 'Dell wireless 350 Bluetooth internal card',
managed by the 'Bluetooth Toshiba Stack 3.03.02'.

Problem is that I cannot configure all the mouse buttons; this can only
be done using the 'Logitech Setpoint'-software, which doesn't recognize
my mouse because it only works when you use the Logitech bluetooth hub
(which I do not want to use because it's half the weight of my notebook
when carrying it around).

Logitech says the Setpoint software will run when using "WIDCOMM
Bluetooth software BTW 1.4.2.21 or above".
- Is the Toshiba stack replaceable and where can I download the Widcomm
software?
- Are there any other options for me to configure the buttons on my
MX900 mouse, running on my laptop?

Sure, try a different mouse driver. That is, from another
manufacturer. You'd then go into that interface and assign
buttons as desired for any not defaulting as you need. It
won't give you the indication on remaining (mouse) battery
level though.
 
I doubt there are manufucturars who produce drivers for 8-button
bluetooth mice that will correspond with the MX900... do you have any
suggestions on which mouse driver from what manufacturer?

Does it "need" to be a driver specifically for an "8-button
bluetooth mouse"... that corresponds to MX900?

Once you have the bluetooth portion working doesn't it
emulate a standard mouse in function? If so, wouldn't *any*
mouse driver work, all you need to do is merely choose one
that supports so many buttons (or at least as many as you
"need")?

What I mean is, if you haven't tried installing a standard
mouse driver yet, try it. For example Logitech Mouseware or
MS Intellipoint. So far as 'corresuponds', that's why you'd
go into the control panel and change any button assignments
as needed.

If that doesn't work then I'm out of ideas but if you
provide more info it might help others determine some
resolution.

Indeed, the idea was pretty good. However I tried to install Mouseware
(which only let me configure some basic 3-button mouse functions, as
Logitech has other software for their more advanced mice, like the
non-functioning Setpoint) and MS Intellipoint (which just didn't
recognize the mouse, no matter what I tried).

So... here I am... advanced MX900 with no buttons to be configured.
Only thing I can think of now is to replace my Toshiba bluetooth stack
with the Widcomm, as Logitech says their Setpoint software will run
when using "WIDCOMM Bluetooth software BTW 1.4.2.21 or above". Anybody
knows how to do this (or does anybody have other ideas)?
