Gave the bluemaemo thing a quick go last night. managed to install and pair with the note but couldn't actually 'do' anything from there. I'm not using ICS so that could be a problem. Has anyone made it work on Gingerbread yet? Will give that keyboard thing a try too when I get a chance.
Please note that you can't use the hardware KB in bluemaemo, it's an onscreen one. You can also use the hardware KB and the screen as a trackpad but you have to fix keyboard focus (let me know if you want to do this and I'll help you set it up).

Yes got them to pair and the options appear. mouse, keypard, presentation etc. Tried moving the mouse around and typing both onscreen and on the hwkb but nothing happened, so have been assuming it's because I don't have ICS. What is supposed to happen? Maybe I'm just missing something really obvious. Do I have to press any other buttons either in android or maemo to get it to accept commands or something?
If I get it to work then I would be very interested in using the hwkb and the screen as a mousepad thing.

Maybe rcolistete can help with Android 3.2.1 settings, or maybe it's device specific?

This device also has a small touch pad that allows me to control a cursor on the Galaxy Note screen such that I can actually open applications via double tapping. Unfortunately no pinch and zoom on the touch pad...

On Nokia N900 & BlueMaemo, I have no success using the hardware keyboard, just the virtual keyboard.
Could you give the instructions to fix keyboard focus in BlueMaemo on N900 ?

To pair N900 & Android, BlueMaemo should be open and waiting for connection. So if N900 is already paired, remove the pairing and do it again.

Just been having another quick try, and attempting waiting for connection before pairing. Getting some strange behaviour. The nokia n900 appeared as a little mouse and keyboard icon instead of a phone icon. There is just the options to connect or unpair mostly. At one point on the note there was an option in there for more options and there was a tick box which said connect as a bluetooth HID device or words to that effect. It wouldn't turn on though and when I went back out those options were gone again. IT looks like it's trying to work somewhere but just not quite getting there. Since trying this the n900 will not stay connected for long and will be disconnected after about 60 seconds. I don't think it's really connected anyway as no mouse appears and the keyboard doesn't do anything either. I will keep trying things to see if it's just something really stupid I'm doing ( very possible
).
It looks like it is still possible that the n900 and the Note on Gingerbread might not be compatible.
edit: got the option back. this time, after removing pairing, I started via xterm. On there it's just a constant "waiting for connection..."
same in the bluemaemo window. On the Note, under bluetooth devices the n900 is there. says it's paired. Long press allows connect, unpair or options. In options there is an n900 option to connect 'pair and connect to HID device' Nothing happens when I press. Also there is profiles HID device. Use for HID device, which is already ticked. trying to connect from the Note doesn't seem to do anything in bluemaemo. Oh well. Will keep trying and if I come up with anything I will report back.

Could you give the instructions to fix keyboard focus in BlueMaemo on N900 ?
Code:
fixkbdfocus bluemaemo
You can even create a bluemaemo shortcut which does this step automatically.
