Hi ! I've just tested with Saucy live cd and the dongle is recognized on lsusb, but doesn't appear on the bluetooth software, which cannot activate the bluetooth of course. Then the keyboard doesn't work at all (neither the mouse) with Saucy.
I made another interesting test : I put my dongle and keyboard on another computer, which have the same version of Ubuntu like me and an Asus H87I-Plus which is socket 1150 Haswell, too. With bluez v4.98 by default on Ubuntu Precise 12.04, it's the same way as my computer (keyboard paired but impossible to activate). Then I tried to do the same way : uninstalling the 4.98 and installing the 4.60 of bluez. Result : keyboard paired, and same problem : dead keys doesn't work neither. I'll try to test another live-cd of another linux distribution which have same kernel version and if possible same bluez version (4.98 or 4.60). An idea of which distribution to choose ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1203565 Title: 045e:009c Microsoft Keyboard Elite for Bluetooth dead keys problem Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In Precise with 4.60 version of bluez I can pair my keyboard and mouse perfectly. === The problem is that dead keys of my keyboard (I mean -L or R- CTRL, ALT, SUPER, -L or R- SHIFT, ALT-GR) doesn't work ANYMORE (whether application I opened, console included). I say anymore because it works with older motherboard. The new motherboard is an 1150 Haswell one from Asus. What I can say is : 1/ When booting, my BIOS recognize perfectly the dead keys of my keyboard, meaning that the bluetooth dongle or the motherboard is not directly concerned. 2/ When doing a second installation of Ubuntu, same problem. 3/ When trying the option 'keyboard layout' (whatever layout I choose), I don't see those dead keys flashing, meaning the system doesn't react at all when pressing them. 4/ By chance, I found another keyboard (same model, same brand), same problem, meaning the keyboard is not concerned (it works on the older motherboard, then it was poor chance that the keyboard broked just before reinstalling). 5/ Tried the setxkbmap command (with sudo or without), nothing's better 6/ Tried the xmodmap command, I see the 0x codes for Left SHIFT, all dead keys are there (see attachment) 7/ Normal keyboard (no wireless) works perfectly 8/ Put the dongle on an other usb slot doesn't change anything 9/ Command xev doesn't makes changes when pressing dead keys. For me it's clearly a Ubuntu's system bug, with my motherboard (Asus H87-PRO socket 1150). --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.25.
