Bluetooth keyboard I bought because I had hoped it use the. There were problems which I could not find answers so I tried everything (xkb chinook, hid script, keyboard bluetoth for fremantle).
I have saved settings usb keyboard


whether something helps

I know and understand the Lord is now very busy, but kindly please help.
1. First of all please remove all other software that tries to set keyboard layout:

bt-hid-scripts
modified Xorg evdev driver (if installed)
modified layouts
whatever else you have installed related to bluetooth.

2. Reinstall extkbd (and extmou if installed)

in terminal as root:
apt-get install --reinstall extkbd
(apt-get install --reinstall extmou)

3. Reboot your n900

4. After the reboot re-pair your keyboard

5. Go to settings->external keyboard. You should have your bluetooth keyboard listed. Set first language to USA(variant none), second to your preference(Romanian?) and try with different settings for keyboard layout (for example MacBook/MacBook pro) to see if it will work. As your keyboard uses non-standard layout and the model is not supported it could take a while until you find the correct layout. After EVERY settings change you must push Save button so your changes to take effect.

Nope, this is why I reported it. It' It's "just plain" USB keyboard, recognized by ext* as "USB-compliant keyboard". Normally, when I connect mouse (or mouse and keyboard via HUB, or keyboard with trackball) I got appropriate message.

Unless, of course, unspecified (by extkb database) "USB-Compliant" keyboard got "mouse-mode" enabled by default, just in case there may be trackball. That might be sane explanation (and approach). Anyway, it's indeed no big deal :)

I'm in the same situation like jschan.
My HP TouchPad Wireless Keyboard is connected and properly detected but I can write only letters. No matter which layout I choose, it's still mimicking the phone keyboard layout (i.e. when holding "a" character longer, "*" is written).

I have no problems with USB keyboard via H-E-N. There the layouts are being switched fine.

Thanks in advance for any hints.

I guess the error is in this direction. I used SETXKBMAP before using extkbd. Is there any way to undo those settings?

Edit:
I re-added the keyboard (it wouldn't reconnect otherwise), now I got the numbers, but still the shift is not working correct. I have to press shift first, then (after releasing) press the other key. This doesn't work e.g. in OpenOffice. Furthermore, I cannot select anything while holding shift.

One more strange thing: in the default notepad, Ctrl+S doesn't work, Ctrl+F does..

I think I'm getting to close to workaround to my problem. I'm using xbindkeys for switching apps to fullscreen. Thanks to xbindkeys I can capture keycodes from BT keyboard and assign them some function/command.
Code:
# Capture multiple key codes - popup will shows up where the keys should be captured and codes are then shown in original terminal.
xbindkeys -mk
Captured codes can be inserted in xbindkeys config file with associated command. So far so good.

What I don't know is how to initiate certain keypress event from xbindkeys as a command. Can anybody give me some hint how to invoke keypresses from terminal? Thanks!

Edit: Answer to my question is: xdotool
