Thanks Qole. I've been struggling with the keyboard for the past week or so (I could get my iGo Stowaway keyboard to pair with the N900, but I could never get JoHnY's commands to work), so perhaps my issues have nothing to do with the scripts you packaged.

Anyway, my keyboard generally seems to go back to sleep very quickly (I've even tried it with fresh batteries). So, I get the bt icon to turn blue when I type, but it goes back to white very quickly. Likewise, I did check BT menu, and the "disconnect" button is indeed active for the keyboard, but only when I'm typing.

Using the bt-dbus-connect command, I typically get

Code:
Error org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemptFailed: Host is down (112)
Finally, similarly to droll, I occasionally see a mouse pointer, and sometimes the bt icon stays permanently blue.

Anyway, thank you very much for getting this packaged. The Stowaway was such a great companion to my n800, hopefully we are on our way to getting it to work reliably with the n900.
