I did not have bt-hid scripts installed, so it was a virgin install. Works perfectly with su-8w keyboard. Thank you freemangordon. this was really helpful. I was able to turn off and reboot too, no issues. Everything else seems to function as it should too...
Move, not remove ok? It takes several less clicks and is consistent with n900 UI as a whole. And you are not obliged to install extkbd if u only need a mouse. Enough reasons?
Thanks so much. I have installed the update above as suggested via xterm but still no joy. The blue BT icon flashes on and off but then eventually off and states "keyboard connection failed"
Also i dont know if its related but my BT desktop icon no longer seems to work. Its stays constantly grey...
I am lost with your explanations, sorry. Will you please describe which is blue BT icon that flashes and which is that desktop icon - is it your desktop PC having such icon or what? What are your actions before "keyboard connection failed" message. And please
write actual message you saw.
Meanwhile I would recommend two things:
1. Remove pairing with keyboard and pair it again. Reboot your n900.
2. After rebooting :
- tap on status bar
- tap Bluetooth
- tap Devices
- make sure your keyboard is selected and tap Edit
- tap Connect
BTW did you check whether your keyboard has some kind of "connect" button on it, most have.
May you post dmesg log when connection fails? Also have in mind that once paired with your desktop it is no longer paired with n900, you need to explicitly delete pairing (on n900) and repair. Attach a screenshot of your paired bluetooth devices and of device details dialog so I can check which profiles your keyboard supports.
