Hi everybody,
I posted on this thread several months ago to ask what, if anything, could be done to connect an SSP (non-HID) keyboard to the n900. Thanks to one helpful suggestion, I have at least managed to get my keyboard paired with the phone - but I have no idea how to get the phone to recognize the keyboard as an input device. Here's what I've got so far:

Issuing rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX creates a block device at (surprise) /dev/rfcomm0. Typing on the bluetooth keyboard while running cat /dev/rfcomm0 does indeed generate output - but this output is entirely senseless, presumably because it isn't being filtered through any kind of a keyboard profile. And hildon-im-xkbtool --list doesn't show any keyboards other than the built-in Nokia ones, which means I can't use the standard approach for applying a keyboard profile.

Anybody have any thoughts as to what I might do to get the /dev/rfcomm0 block device recognized as a keyboard device?

Many thanks,
Jordan
