Thanks for the advice about the false "pairing" of the Stowaway, I will keep trying to pair until it "takes".

If I manage to get the initial pairing to work, I will play around with using your scripts some more. Eventually though, I may consider re-flashing: I am noticing some degradation in performance (e.g., slow/jerky scrolling in the web browser, text highlighting unexpectedly), and some minor annoyances such as the mouse pointer showing up in certain applications (e.g., Touch-search widget, Conversations widget, etc).

Again, thanks for your work on the scripts--it is getting me encouraged that my BT keyboard eventually will work.

This is so great, my iiGo Stowaway keyboard works really nice

Thanks!

I was wondering though, is there any way to get localized keyboard layouts to work?

I'm from Denmark, and we use the letters æ, ø and å alot.

It worked fine on my N810, and I would love, if it could too on the N900.

To those wanting to show the mouse cursor: use the included "showmouse" and "hidemouse" scripts. I'm working on making it automatic.

Does anyone know about dbus and python? I hook a routine to the "PropertyChanged" of the mouse and the keyboard, but when I get a notification, I don't know which device has changed. Here's a code snippet.

First I connect the devices:

then in the handler:

I copy-pasted the code from the wiki. I don't know what the args are, or the kwargs. Where is the device info passed?

the args are the non-parametrized args (=like classic php, c, js, etc), the kwargs are the parametrized ones (=like myfunc(paramname=1)). These two contain ALL the arguments you might have called that function with, a sort of python catch-all. HTH (you can always 'print args').

showmouse / hidemouse seem to do the job, but in some applications the mouse pointer is always visible... For example SleepAnalyzer and every text field (touch it).

How can this be turned off, its really annoying. Uninstalling doesn't do the trick.

I've added a bit to the first post to explain how to change your keyboard layout using the ~/.btkeyboard config file.

I've got a working python script that detects mouse and keyboard connections/disconnections and runs the appropriate scripts. The next version (0.5) will have this.

Does anyone have a bluetooth mouse / keyboard or combo that does not have the appropriate "keyboard" or "mouse" in the device name? I mean, do you have a keyboard/mouse combo that doesn't have "mouse" in the name? I'm trying to figure out a rule that will detect if a device is a keyboard or mouse, and so far, all I have is that it has the device type in its name.

Qole, would it be posible to include an option to launch some external script/binary, when the device connects/disconnects?

I've made a script, to launch things like alt-tab/alt-f4 with shortcuts, and I have to launch xbindkeys when keybard is connected, and kill it when I stop using it.

Just if you may, and you find it convenient of course.

qole, I have a Keysonic bt mouse/keyboard combo (ack-340bt).

Tell me which output you want - dmesg?

asys3: I want the name of your device, as shown in /var/lib/bluetooth/[bt-addr]/names so I can see what possibilities I should search for.

jormartr: I have modified the script from the wiki to detect mouse and keyboard connections. At the moment it just launches showmouse for the mouse and bt-kbd-remap for the keyboard, but perhaps I should make it launch user-set apps as well...
