@FrankT - yeah, i'm one of the guys with the same problem. i just haven't posted anything in that i haven't had any new info. i did take it as far as it looks like you did in terms of getting lshal to exclude reporting any nokia keyboard mappings, but like you, i ended up getting the same behavior. i also tried rebooting just in case.

since then, i've just been quietly following the thread, hoping a post sheds more light on the problem.

the only other thing on my n900 that i found suspect was that for some reason, i had a cached deb of extmou that required bt-hid-scripts. if bt-hid-scripts was installed via dependencies at one time though, it wasn't installed anymore when i found the dependency. i keep meaning to, but i haven't taken the time to uninstall/reinstall packages.
