Hi esteemed Freemangordon. Thanks for extkbd! I use it with iGo, with settings on 105 key generic (intl) PC. language= USA and with variant = none.

As I'm typing (using eg an xterm application) the keyboard mapping changes randomly, especially the "enter" key and the ctrl enter key. They exchange roles!. In the mail app, when I'm typing a message, sometimes neither key works as a newline character. But ctrl M works.

This problem is a followon to a bug I reported on the bluetooth driver for the N810. In this old bug, there were two keys (function period and function semicolon) that would exchange mappings. This exchange happened whenever the bluetooth connection timed out. However the new problem with the N900 does not seem to be affected by identifiable events. From one minute to the next while I'm typing, the normal enter key can start working, and then stop working again. The switching happens every few minutes.

This looks like such a quirky problem that it seems hopeful that it could be tracked down. And then all of your extkbd fans would love you.

Best wishes ....TTEN
