Here are some clues I discovered on my M2010: If I boot the Lucid LiveCD from the Windows "sleep mode" (that is, power off, but not shut down through the logging off, shutting down sequence), I can coerce the Bluetooth module into recognizing both the keyboard and the mouse. But when I installed Lucid via WUBI from the normal Windows running mode and shut down Windows to reboot, I cannot connect the keyboard and mouse running Lucid's WUBI installation. With plugged-in USB keyboard and mouse, Lucid works fine. No sound comes from the speakers as everyone reports, but the headphone jack has audio. Strangely, the touchpad in the keyboard does work, probably because there are two modes of operating the Bluetooth adapter -- one before Windows loads and the second after Windows loads.

Solving the audio might be as easy as buying an amplifier/speaker set like the ordinary Dell things. I am going to try to find a USB Bluetooth dongle which works in Lucid to see if that solves the keyboard/mouse problem. (I can report that the D'Link DBT120 doesn't work.)

Just got to get this thing off Windows.
