Here is the result for the first row from ESC to 5 (key 6 causes a crash and the terminal closes, it could be key 5 causing this )


Code:
Nokia-N900:~# kbdd -d -c /etc/bluetooth/kbdd/kbdd.conf
14 32
press 32
142 33
release 33

release 13

press 25
p165 26
release 26
þ^[[^[[C46 28
press 28
174 49
release 49
From the first keys i can see that the keyboard is not compatible to the freedom driver from kbdd and very probably also to all the other drivers. However the keypresses are detected and thus buiding a driver would not be a problem. The next package 0.6 will have the -n option to not output the keys to the kernel such that the terminal will not crash.

Code:
 sudo gainroot
 stop kbdd # to stop the running daemon
 rfcomm bind all #once to create the device files
 kbdd -d -n -c /etc/bluetooth/kbdd/kbdd.conf # to output the input keys without passing them to the kernel
 start kbdd # to start the daemon again
If you think it i worth than you could give it another try.
