Re: Bluetooth keyboards
Any update on BT kayboard? I got mine a few days ago and although it works with my Linux laptop (connecting using Gnome panel applet), I'm not able to use it with FR. I've found both articles on Wiki: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Freedom_Slim_Keyboard http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_Bluetooth#HID_.28Human_Input_Device.29 but the commands doesn't seem to be working. I'm getting the best results with hdid --connect ADDRESS after which command I have this in dmesg: [10713.02] Bluetooth: HIDP (Human Interface Emulation) ver 1.2 [10802.37] input: Broadcom Corp. Keyboard as /devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:42/input6 [10802.38] generic-bluetooth 0005:0A5C:8502.0001: input: BLUETOOTH HID v1.1b Keyboard [Broadcom Corp. Keyboard] on 00:06:6E:17:29:5E And if I cat /dev/input/event6 I can see some garbage on the screen while pressing buttons on my keyboard. But If I open terminal or new message dialog, I can't see any letters while typing on the keyboard.

Re: Bluetooth keyboards
Hello, Hi all. Howdy Will bluetooth keyboards work with the freerunner (qtmoko)? Well. It's a fully featured linux. I recently bought a bluetooth headset. Works like charm together with my FreeRunner (SHR) Shouldn't be SUCH a problem to also get it running under QtMoko and so I guess something simple as a keyboard will even be less tinkering to get it working. I bet there are thousand and one HowTos around. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html Bluetooth+HCID is the keyword Is there any update on the topic of BT keyboard+QtMoko? I am especially interested in the Freedom Pro Bluetooth Keyboard, but recommendations are welcome Yes. An alternative could be the one from the wiki: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Freedom_Slim_Keyboard But there is no mention of qtmoko support?

I just remember I tried it there and it worked. Also under SHR it worked.
