So using evtest and xinput, I've been able to verify that all the keys are making it to my n900 and confirmed that the default keycode mappings should be valid. However, for some reason, the mappings aren't working. Only the following keys are working:
- all letters
- space
- tab
- backsapce
- enter
- comma
- period
- shift (though not at the same time as i press another key)
- esc
- directional keys
- f keys
Numbers, most special characters, and most special keys (such as capslock, ctrl, alt, etc) aren't working though events are sent in. Any idea what could be wrong? I've tried different mappings, but I can't get any of these other keys to work. Has anyone else experienced similar issues and/or know how to get numeric keys and special keys working?

Here's what lshal is reporting:
Is the nokiarx51 model supposed to appear there? My bluetooth keyboard seems to be using that mapping...
Code:
input.device = '/dev/input/event4' (string)
input.product = 'Motorola Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard' (string)
input.x11_driver = 'evdev' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbLayout = 'us,us' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbModel = 'pc105' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbOptions = ',caps:shiftlock' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbRules = 'evdev' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbVariant = '' (string)
input.xkb.layout = 'us' (string)
input.xkb.model = 'nokiarx51' (string)
input.xkb.options = {''} (string list)
input.xkb.rules = 'base' (string)
input.xkb.variant = '' (string)
linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event4' (string)

Everything looks ok and TBH it is different from your previous posting:
input.x11_options.XkbOptions = ',caps:shiftlock' (string)
vs
input.x11_options.XkbOptions = 'grp:alt_shift_toggle,caps:shiftlock' (string)
But it should work in both cases.
The only thing I could think of is that your keyboard reports itself having too much capabilites:
info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.keyboard', 'input.keypad', 'input.keys', 'input.mouse', 'button'} (string list)
I would recommend to search for 'input.keyboard', 'input.keypad', 'input.keys', 'input.mouse' in .fdi files in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/
Later on when I have time I will check my Apple Wireless and will compare lshal result with yours
input.x11_options.XkbOptions = ',caps:shiftlock' (string)
vs
input.x11_options.XkbOptions = 'grp:alt_shift_toggle,caps:shiftlock' (string)

Feature Request for GUI of program:
Assigned keyboard short cuts to allow total control of Maemo 5 using keyboard only (maybe a mouse emulator using arrows when a visual element of a menu is displayed)
Thanks
