Howdy!

I tried to get this to work, but for some reason it fails. I am able to get my keyboard to (finally) associate with my N900 once I do the dbus-send. It will also send keystrokes to my N900, but with all the mapping issues everyone's complained about.

I have the xkb-chinook files installed and tried the setxkbmap command you gave above. It didn't seem to change the keymap whatsoever. (And yes, I did check that my keyboard is device #4.)

Do you have any inputs on what I might try?

I'm trying this with the Menotek waterproof flexible keyboard.
