So, I've received my lovely mini keyboard (USB), and i'm totally amazed with extkbd - it works perfectly, out of the box. Keyboard was recognized as "USB-compliant" by extkbd, and layout set automatically to 105 keys - keyboard has actually exactly 88 keys, but, still *everything* work's very fine - letters, numbers, special characters, my language accented characters (!), and even numpad invoked by "Fn" key on keyboard itself (!!!). Awesome stuff.

(picture will be here soon, uploading)

The only minor glitch with layout itself is that - while using keypad with "Fn" - "keypad 5" and "keypad 2" doesn't work. No big deal, I can get this by other means

Ho ever, there is also other minor glitch with extkbd behavior itself (I suppose). When I connect and enumerate my keyboard, also mouse cursor is shown. That's ok. Ho ever, upon disconnecting it, mouse cursor stay visible - no matter if I shut vBoost (in H-E-N) first, or just close H-E-N as whole - it's just there. Normally, it's no huge deal, ho ever, if - during work with external keyboard - I use keypad numbers as mouse cursor control, upon disconnecting, I loose ability to "click" via tapping screen. I can move cursor by touching screen, but no clicking on anything (be it icon, powerkey menu, or whatever). I was forced to use trick with opening and closing camera shutter many times in few seconds, to invoke watchdog's reboot of device.

So, is there any command from xterm, that I can use to bring cursor settings to "normal" after disconnecting keyboard? Or even better, can I help in any way (debug info), so this report could result in improving extkbd to deal with such situations?

Thanks in advance for answer, freemangordon.
