i'm using microsoft bluetooth notebook mouse 5000 which is pairing fine for me.
Gameboy - thanks - the problem was indeed with the files in the folder "/etc/bluetooth/" - i copied the files of the device from before the backup opening and everything is fine now.

I have microsoft bluetooth keyboard 5000
I have been struggling with extkbd app for a week, none of the seettings were changing the keyboard map and all the keys were working the same way as the internal keyboard of n900.
Any of the number keys (2345 and !@#$%%) were not working
So my first guss was :- may be the extkbd is not changing the keyboard map for externel keyboard.
Here are the steps which worked for me with trial and error. and is working in the exact same order
Procedure 1
1) Go to Setting External Keyboard: change it to any layout (Generic 101 to 105 Doesnt Matter)
2) open the terminal and type :setxkbmap
3) voilla : after about 3 or 5 seconds all the keys were working..
there is 1 issue though : return key is not working now
.. which was working earlier
procedure 2
so there is another workaround
1) Go to Settings : turn on the virtual keyboard
2) Go to Setting External Keyboard: change it to any layout (Generic 101 to 105 Doesnt Matter)
3) open the terminal and type :setxkbmap
4) voilla : after about 3 or 5 seconds all the keys were working..
now the issue is all the keys work but return key simpy triggers the virtual keyboard where u have to press (enterbutton)
however these problem doesnot exists if i open the terminal inside LXDE desktop of easy debian
all the keys were working in procedure 1 only. I did not had to enable the virtual keyboard drama
am i missing anything here
is there any workaroud?

Only niggles so far are not being able to persuade esydebian it"s a uk layout< even though maemo realises, and wondering whether I can get the media keys (pause/play, ffwd, rwd and vol+/-) to work in maemo.
I changed evdev_drv.so to be able to handle keyboard and mouse events separately. Driver source was taken from
xserver-xorg-input-evdev-mouse-2.1.99-1osso20090206.12.tar.gz (xserver-xorg-input-evdev-mouse 1:2.1.99-1osso20090206.12-1mouse+0m5).
There are two new options KeyboardOnly and MouseOnly.
If you set KeyboardOnly to "yes", then the evdev can be registered with Xorg for the second time with MouseOnly = "yes". So the single linux evdev can be registered as two X server devices.
There are hal scripts, readme and evdev patch in the attachment.
Once again, many thanks to you both.
