It appears that they kernel will still support it. But something appears to have changed in the substrate that starts up bluetoothd. But I don't know enough about this to figure it out. (The init system on Maemo is different than Debian and I don't know what is starting and configuring bluetoothd.) Perhaps someone else who knows more can help.

They weren't inserted into my kernel either, but "modprobe hid" and "modprobe hidp" inserted them readily. So the modules themselves aren't missing.
Best regards, Jan

The Limux modprobe command takes a kernel module name as its argument and installs that module and all dependent modules.
But my guess is that that alone won't help. Most of the time things are set up so that modules are loaded automatically when needed. So my guess is that the init scripts for bluetoothd have changed to not start hid.

2. After extracting the .tar you should have a directory called xkb-chinook on your desktop. Copy that directory into the tmp folder on your N900 (which you find as a mass storage drive in windows explorer)
1. copying the file xkb-chinook.tar from my earlier post to /tmp on your N900.
2. then do
$ sudo gainroot
# cd /tmp
# tar xf xkb-chinook.tar
# mv -i /tmp/xkb-chinook /usr/share/X11/.
# exit
There are several reasons you want to do the above as root on a Unix/Linux machine on a Unix/Linux file system (such as ext2, ext3, ...). Among them, to preserve file/directory uids, gids, and permissions (and ctimes and mtimes while you are at it), as well as symlinks.

The modprobe program is part of the module-init-tools package. My guess is that that's always installed but if /sbin/modprobe doesn't exist on your system, that's the package you need to install.
This won't solve the bluetooth keyboard problem, though.

qobi, you are the man!
Using your latest instructions I got my Stowaway ThinkOutside "Sierra" BT keyb to work w/ the N900, PR1.1 !!
The thing that I (somehow) missed, is that I have to type something on the INTERNAL keyboard ! So, other users, pls keep this in mind.

If you follow the discussion and check whether hid and hidp modules are installed on your device, are they?
Did you upgrade OTA or flash to that firmware?

/home/user # lsmod | grep -i hid
hidp 12544 0
hid 31940 1 hidp
l2cap 21060 17 hidp,rfcomm,bnep
bluetooth 53596 10 hidp,rfcomm,sco,bnep,l2cap,hci_h4p
Did not do anything special about the modules/bluetooth. It's how it is after a reboot.
