Is there any other way to fix the keyboard ? :S Installing over 2 gigabytes of software just for that seems way over the top to me 
I've tried a work-around mentioned in this post, but with no luck.
Thanks for your help in advance!

The keyboard focus fix is in qoles git repo if you wish to compile it.

you can also try contacting Magic_Doc since he was trying to achieve the same thing.

Thanks for the tip. Private messaging seems to be disabled, it's going to be hard to contact magic_doc 
I don't know much about compiling tho :/

Hi,
I managed to establish the connection between my pc and n900 and everything beside the mouse is working great. You see, when I choose the mouse from the BLUEMAEMO main menu a can see the mouse cursor moving on my PC but it is not smooth move, it hacks. Any suggestions?
Thanks

*I did come across a binary as well, but it was compiled for Easy Debian and didn't work directly on Maemo.

I also got the hardware keyboard fixkbdfocus trick to work, though I will try to find out how to make a shortcut icon that launches it with the command. It's pretty tedious to do every time.
The one remaining problem with BlueMaemo then is that the hardware keyboard function (blue) keys don't map to the correct characters. They're in a completely different arrangement! (The one from 810 maybe?) My workaround for this is to open the Bluemaemo soft keyboard on its special character page and use those. Works well enough I suppose, but a bit irritating. Did anyone ever find a fix for that?

For me in connecting to Windows 7, it didn't work to connect to Win7 from the device -- only to put Bluemaemo in wait for connection mode and then initiate the connection from Win7 - then everything worked perfect.

edit: just installed power kernel v pre50 (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=2904) and it's working just as smooth as on stock. So either the problem has been solved in the new kernel or it was just a weird quirk, I suppose.

I've just made a QBW which starts bluemaemo, waits a few seconds and then issues fixkbdfocus.
See attachement. (You'll need sudser installed)
Change used Icon if desired I took one from aw0ken-theme.

Thanks retsaw and J4ZZ - the two executables with this QBC widget work great.
Just a tip if it's not working for some after copying the scripts to /usr/bin - as root in xterm, type fixkbdfocus and check the output. I got a message about gxmessage not being found. Apt-get install gxmessage didn't work, however gxmessage is installed with gmessage, so install that and you should be fine.

- install 'libeet1=1.2.2+svn41533-maemo1' before (using 'apt-get install' as root) installing BlueMaemo;
- to fix the physical keyboard focus, then follow :
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=249
i.e, with Easy Debian installed, open BlueMaemo, run in X Terminal "$ fixkbdfocus bluemaemo". Now the N900's physical keyboard will work.
