Today I read this whole thread and it seems there are quite a few people with this problem. Most of them give up after a few post, so there is no solution posted.

I tried tweaking my 99-x11-external-keyboard.fdi to:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
   <device>
       <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
           <match key="info.product" contains="Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000">
               <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel" type="string">pc105</merge>
               <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">nl,us</merge>
               <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions" type="string">grp:alt_shift_toggle,caps:shiftlock</merge>
			   <merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
           </match>
       </match>
   </device>
</deviceinfo>
Now lshal gives:
Code:
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_1'
  info.addons.singleton = {'hald-addon-input'} (string list)
  info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.keyboard', 'input.keypad', 'input.keys', 'button'} (string list)

  input.xkb.variant = ''  (string)
  linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event4'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2  (0x2)  (int)
  linux.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/input/input10/event4'  (string)
Still the keyboard reacts as if it was the internal keyboard (no numbers, but long-pressing q gives 1, etc). Freemangordon do you have any ideas what I could do next?

Thanks for your support freemangordon. I recently reflashed, then I installed extkbd but I can't pairing my SU-8W keyboard. Do you have any idea what to do now to match it as before?

EDIT: now it's OK!!!! Thanks!!!

@FrankT - yeah, i'm one of the guys with the same problem. i just haven't posted anything in that i haven't had any new info. i did take it as far as it looks like you did in terms of getting lshal to exclude reporting any nokia keyboard mappings, but like you, i ended up getting the same behavior. i also tried rebooting just in case.

since then, i've just been quietly following the thread, hoping a post sheds more light on the problem.

the only other thing on my n900 that i found suspect was that for some reason, i had a cached deb of extmou that required bt-hid-scripts. if bt-hid-scripts was installed via dependencies at one time though, it wasn't installed anymore when i found the dependency. i keep meaning to, but i haven't taken the time to uninstall/reinstall packages.

@FrankT and jschan - If my memory serves me well extkbd has never had a dependency on bt-hid-scripts, actually those are marked as incompatible.

May some of you post dmesg and syslog output after connecting the keyboard, so I can try to find something wrong there. BTW which version of extkbd are you using?

Thank you for your reply. I'm not sure what syslog you mean. Here is my Xorg.0.log
Code:
(**) Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000: Device: "/dev/input/event4"
(II) Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000: Found 1 mouse buttons
(II) Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000: Found scroll wheel(s)
(II) Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000: Found keys
(II) Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000: Configuring as keyboard
(II) Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000: Adding scrollwheel support
(**) Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000: (accel) acceleration profile 0
(**) Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000: (accel) filter chain progression: 2.00
(**) Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000: (accel) filter stage 0: 20.00 ms
(**) Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000: (accel) set acceleration profile 0
I don't get why it sees a scrollwheel by the way...
The dmesg looks like:
Code:
[13450.855407] kb_lock (GPIO 113) is now closed
[13451.174621] kb_lock (GPIO 113) is now open

@FrankT and jschan: Me too. Looks like you both got a lot further than I did!

How related is this to extkb and how much is it because this KB is contrary? If, although using extkb, the problem is more kb specific, is it worth reporting findings/activites in a separate thread for easier reading?
