By default it's using the N900 internal keyboard's layout. The Fn key on the SU-8W is not working which suggests it doesn't make the keyboard actually send keypresses of the number keys for example, but the driver has to interpret Fn+Q as 1.
Could a temporary hack be to edit the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51 file and add the info from the SU-8W file under a keyboard layout not used and then just switch to this layout when the su-8w keyboard is connected?

If I have time tonight, I think I'll try this.

No need to mess with these files, you can use a command line tool to assign the different available layouts - hildon-im-xkbtool

Thanks a lot VDVsx for saving me quite some work. I will try this when I get home later today...

Re: Does N900 support Nokia's SU-8W Bluetooth Keyboard ?
 
Thanks again! I have now tried to set the layout, but cannot seem to get it to work. I have e.g. tried to write

Code:
hildon-im-xkbtool -s -l no -m nokiasuw8 -i 50 -d 600 --id=4
and I get the following feedback:

Code:
Applying keymap to Virtual core Keyboard
Applying keymap to omap_tw14030keypad
Applying keymap to Nokia SU-8W
Applying keymap to Nokia SU-8W
Setting rate for Nokia SU-8W
Set rate for device Nokia SU-8W
But when I thereafter do a

Code:
hildon-im-xkbtool -g
I get the same feedback as before I tried changing the layout, namely

Code:
External keyboard:
Model: nokiasu8w
Layout: US
Delay: 600
Interval: 50
Not only does the configuration not work, it doesn't even give me the US layout. Instead I get the layout used on the hardware keyboard of the n900 (e.g. German og my own modified Danish depending on what I set the hardware keyboard to).

Any help would be much appreciated!

Has no one been able to make the su-8w work with the n900?

Don't have one, but for what I've seen it should work. What's the problem ?

The problem is that no matter what I have tried (I am surely doing something wrong!) I cannot get the correct layout on the su-8w. I only get the same layout as on the hardware keyboard on the n900, which obviously isn't very useful on the external keyboard.

That's strange but can be another bug :).

Please try this command in the X terminal and paste the output here: hildon-im-xkbtool -g
