Hi all,
I picked up a cheap BT keyboard (Omiz6220) which uses a serial/rfcomm
(rather than HID) connection. I have be able to get this working with the
Linux virtual consoles using a userland app call kbdd, however the key
presses are not seen within X.
I am using an Xorg.conf (Intel 855GME problems) but "AllowEmptyInput" is
set (by default) so I believe Xorg is handling the selection of input
devices.
Distro is Xubuntu 10.04.
The device (SerKBD) is listed under xinput, but it's events are not
registering with xev.

The app evtest sees the events ok.
