Hello,
For any who are having difficulty with getting this driver to work for the Omiz keyboard, here are the detailed steps I used to get mine working. Actually, the process has become considerably less difficult now that fanoush has updated the drivers. Thank You Fanoush!
1. Download the latest kbdd from
http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/kbdd.tar.gz
2. Get to a command line on your N800 and become root (I use ssh for this).
3. cd to the directory where you downloaded kbdd
4. extract the files with tar xvzf kbdd.tar.gz
5. cd to the kbdd directory.
6. Make sure your keyboard is turned on and the green light is blinking.
7. find the keyboard with this command
./btkbd scan
8. make note of the address of the keyboard.
9. edit btkbd.conf You will need to add the address and change the keyboard type to "freedom". Here is the contents of my btkbd.conf file:
BDADDR="00:0B:0D:76:05:AB"
KBTYPE=freedom
PORTNUM=2
DEBUG=no #yes
#KEYREPEAT_DELAY=600 # delay before first key repeat (in miliseconds)
#KEYREPEAT_PERIOD=80 # repeat speed
10 now run the command:
./btkbd
If everything worked as expected you should now be able to enter input using your keyboard.
11. If this worked then run the command:
sh install_shortcut.sh
You will now be able to activate and deactivate your keyboard via the extras menu.
Good Luck!
