Seems you have some keyboard/mouse combo, that is why you have cursor when device is connected.
Unless, of course, unspecified (by extkb database) "USB-Compliant" keyboard got "mouse-mode" enabled by default, just in case there may be trackball. That might be sane explanation (and approach). Anyway, it's indeed no big deal

I'm in the same situation like jschan.
My HP TouchPad Wireless Keyboard is connected and properly detected but I can write only letters. No matter which layout I choose, it's still mimicking the phone keyboard layout (i.e. when holding "a" character longer, "*" is written).
I have no problems with USB keyboard via H-E-N. There the layouts are being switched fine.
Thanks in advance for any hints.

I think I already told you to not use setxkbmap. If you insist on using it ok, just reminding you that this is EXTKBD thread, not SETXKBMAP thread.
Edit:
I re-added the keyboard (it wouldn't reconnect otherwise), now I got the numbers, but still the shift is not working correct. I have to press shift first, then (after releasing) press the other key. This doesn't work e.g. in OpenOffice. Furthermore, I cannot select anything while holding shift.
One more strange thing: in the default notepad, Ctrl+S doesn't work, Ctrl+F does..

I think I'm getting to close to workaround to my problem. I'm using xbindkeys for switching apps to fullscreen. Thanks to xbindkeys I can capture keycodes from BT keyboard and assign them some function/command.
Captured codes can be inserted in xbindkeys config file with associated command. So far so good.
What I don't know is how to initiate certain keypress event from xbindkeys as a command. Can anybody give me some hint how to invoke keypresses from terminal? Thanks!
Edit: Answer to my question is: xdotool

Code:
# Capture multiple key codes - popup will shows up where the keys should be captured and codes are then shown in original terminal. xbindkeys -mk

choice of the minimized windows in the TaskManager via letter keys.
Can you describe precisely what and how?

in terminal as root:
apt-get install --reinstall extkbd
(apt-get install --reinstall extmou)
3. Reboot your n900
4. After the reboot re-pair your keyboard
5. Go to settings->external keyboard. You should have your bluetooth keyboard listed. Set first language to USA(variant none), second to your preference(Romanian?) and try with different settings for keyboard layout (for example MacBook/MacBook pro) to see if it will work. As your keyboard uses non-standard layout and the model is not supported it could take a while until you find the correct layout. After EVERY settings change you must push Save button so your changes to take effect.
brought back the old picture BckupMenu
uninstall
- MmmRemotePhoneControl
- Bt-hid script is not installed
- Modified evdev Xorg driver - if it does not conflict with extkbd?
- Our original rx-51
- Unistal extkbd extmou
-Removed bluetooth paired devices
-Clean / var / lib / bluetooth ....
-Clean rotfs (Clear apt cache, Remove unused dependencies, Purge unused configuration files)
- Apt-get install - reinstall xkb-data
- Apt-get install extkbd extmou
achievements
- Letter keys (no key numeruw, no special keys CTRL ......) Check with different settings - no change
*Help now what ?????????
