You mean your n900 rebooted after you install extkbd by itself? Or you restart it manually after installing extkbd and get caught in reboot loop? Will you explain what you actually did.

Anyway, extras-devel is the first repository things fall into after passing through autobuilder. The software there is most probably not ready for end users, read here http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel and here http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing

I believe that's the same problem that the bt-hid-scripts tried to solve (and they did for me, but didn't get the layout right).
Because the keyboard can't connect to the N900, I don't see any keyboards in the keyboards dialog in your app.

Any idea how to solve this? I'd really love to finally use my kb
New version is available in extras-devel which gives an option to manually connect your keyboard (hopefully )

Cheers

How exactly did you uninstall it if it failed to install. And do you have appmanager logs or error message to provide. I am trying to understand if my program has any incompatibility other than with bt-hid-scripts, but till now you did not provide any useful info.

@ eagle_linux - I have the same problem, though it all worked fine when I was using PR1.1 or PR1.2

I also get the following error when I start extkbd, indicating a missing file:

Cannot open /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/99-x11-external-keyboard.fdi - no such file or directory

That is normal, once you configure at least one keyboard , the message will not appear anymore. Did you try latest extkbd, it has option to manually connect to bt HID devices

Is the conflict with bt-hid-scripts resolved? I got a lot of dependency errors with this after a Re-flash, and so did other people made threads about it too.
