From another thread:
If you think it i worth than you could give it another try.

Ok here is a photo of the keyboard
And I'm going to start pressing keys from the first row top left to the right ( so ESC key, 1, 2, 3 ,4 .... BACKSPACE) then do the same with second row and so on
Here is the result for the first row from ESC to 5 (key 6 causes a crash and the terminal closes, it could be key 5 causing this )
Code:Nokia-N900:~# kbdd -d -c /etc/bluetooth/kbdd/kbdd.conf 14 32 press 32 142 33 release 33 dð^[[^[[C22 57 press 57 150 15 release 15 ^[[^[[C30 12 press 12 -158 13 release 13 \^[[^[[C38 26 press 26 166 27 release 27 [^[[^[[C37 25 press 25 p165 26 release 26 þ^[[^[[C46 28 press 28 174 49 release 49
Code:
sudo gainroot stop kbdd # to stop the running daemon rfcomm bind all #once to create the device files kbdd -d -n -c /etc/bluetooth/kbdd/kbdd.conf # to output the input keys without passing them to the kernel start kbdd # to start the daemon again

A "little" bug:
After the installation of kbdd the internal virtual keyboard does not work anymore.
Running:
apt-get purge kbdd
Solves the problem and makes standard virtual keyboard appear again.

I guess that is related to the fact that kbdd emulates that a keyboard is connected as long as it runs (not only if the keyboard really is connected).
On the tbd list.
On the tbd list.
From the documentation:
kbdd can enable the following bluetooth keyboards: foldable - Compaq/HP foldable keyboard stowaway - Targus Stowaway keyboard stowawayxt - Stowaway XT snapntype - Snap'n'Type hpslim - HP Slim keyboard smartbt - Smart Bluetooth keyboard lirc - LIRC consumer IR belkinir - Belkin IR (not IrDA) flexis - Flexis FX-100 keyboard g250 - Benq G250 gamepad pocketvik - GrandTec PocketVIK microfold - Micro Innovations Foldaway keyboard micropad - Micro Innovations Datapad microkbd - Compaq MicroKeyboard freedom - Freedom keyboard (patched layout of bottom row) btfoldable - HP iPAQ Bluetooth Foldable Keyboard elektex - Elektex Cloth Keyboard elektex_unmapped - Elektex Cloth Keyboard (Unmapped) To enable kbdd for your keyboard, two steps are neccessary - Pair the device such that it appears in the bluetooth device list. - Specify the keyboard driver using the kbdd config button. The bluetooth icon turns from white to blue if the keyboard is connected and a banner gets displayed. The kbdd daemon tries to connect to the keyboard every 30s, so the battery drain should not be too big. It connects to the uinput kernel module to create a virtual keyboard. The extkbd package can be used to automatically configure the keyboard layout. The original kbdd was spiced up with maemo patches to output a banner if the keyboard connected or disconnected. Since I only own a freedom keyboard, so far I only provide maemo patches for the freedom driver. However, the non-patched kbdd shoud run out of the box.
