Just some (stupid) questions as I'm currently stuck with a non-working layout. I have extkbd 1.0.1, xkb-data-extkbd 1.8-1-2m5 and bt-hid-scripts 0.12-2fremantle1 installed and now can pair my chinfai keyboard (two days ago I even didn't succeed pairing it, might be related to latest update of bt-hid-scripts). But it doesn't work satisfactorily at all and I can't figure out were the problem is.

What it does:
After manual pairing I can use parts of the keyboard. After switching kb off I have to manually unpair it (or what is it called when dividing them?).

What it does not:
No automatic pairing after switching keyboard on and no automatic unpairing after switching it off.
After pairing I can only use lowercase letters (i.e. <shift> doesn't work), I can't use any key except for letters (a-z), <left> (triggered by <down>), <right> and sometimes <tab> (triggered by some special key for webbrowser). Numbers are created by longpressing a key in the upper row as well as special characters are mapped to the letters they are on internal keyboard. In short: the layout is similar to the internal one but with less working keys.

Now, that's the point where this app should jump in and change the layout, right? But I just can't get any different layout to work. I tried german mapping, UK, USA, different layouts (105 key, 102 key, 101 key) but there is absolutely no change. I also always repaired the device in case the changes only affect new pairing.

Do I miss something? There is no error shown and the keyboard keeps on working at its very low level. And what can I do about automatic pairing/unpairing?

Sorry if these questions are already answered but I'm actually completely confused with all these different threads, wiki pages and snippets everywhere. I just want my keyboard to work at least like the internal one, that would be an awesome beginning!

Thanks for any help!

EDIT: Firmware is 1.3 and kernel is kernel-power 46. Any other info needed?

EDIT2: automatic pairing / unpairing now seems to work but it takes ages!
