Hey guys, I was reading the post on how to connect a BT keyboard and I have the same problem. There seems not to be the Method Connect after org.bluez.input
I have a DiNovo Edge, the same keyboard pH5 has so the problem is not from the keyboard.
I also enabled input in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf
Double check which of the MAC-s you are using

Well offcourse i love the work of the community. But few people keep in mind that there are allot of people like me who just starting to understand how the whole picture works. and with codes like these @ #219 i dont understand what to do.
Some people are working with maemo for years. i just used it for a few months. i can flash the device i can change LED patterns, change system icons and sounds.. but codes like this i really dont understand.
Its the lack of good explaination for "the dummies" who want to learn maemo i think scaring them off.
Not to mention 50+ pages most of these threads have.
maybe someone can put a video on youtube to help show us dummies how to input code and other things that come naturally to the community but leaves us dummies looking dumber then we thought.

Yeah people can make mistakes like those.. It's a good thing to double check but I am using my keyboard's MAC.. Still not working

It's only a start. I haven't yet got the setxkbmap command happening automatically, that's why I haven't documented that part.

This looks very promising!
However when I run the following:
It spits out the same response as if I had merely typed 'dbus-send', in otherwords it's almost like it doesn't like something about the parameters. I double checked to make sure no spelling errors. Is it possible it doesn't recognize the 'org.bluez' on my N900? Is this possible and how does one get 'bluez'?'
However when I run the following:
Code:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez / org.bluez.Manager.DefaultAdapter

I just got myself an Neos BluSlim BTK-1 Bluetooth keyboard and managed to pair it with my N900 and followed the instructions as described in http://wiki.maemo.org/Fremantle_Blue...eyboard_Layout.
Everything works like a charm, and even Home and End keys (using the Fn key on the Bluetooth keyboard) works nicely!!
For those interested in the keyboard, here is the official link:
http://www.ect.com.hk/1/en/enduser/p...category_id=66
As seen in the video, it works with iPad too!
And here is a Chinese report about the keyboard, with loads of pics!!

Hi, all ---
Hope I'm not beating a dead horse, but has anyone else gotten the error "Error loading new keyboard description" when executing command:
<code>
setxkbmap -device 4 -I -I/usr/share/X11/xkb-chinook -rules base -model pc105 -layout us
</code>
?
Just for background:
- I am attempting this with a Think Outside Stowaway keyboard
- I can pair with the keyboard normally -- I just get usual behavior of only being able to type letters, period, and comma.
- Keyboard shows up on list of keyboards shown in "hildon-im-xkbtool --list" command
- I have downloaded and untar'd the Chinook xkb tar as root.
- I have copied over all files that existed in the Chinook setup that did not exit in the Freemantle setup (with -i) as root.
- When I try the setxkbmap command with the "xkb" directory as the target, it seems to succeed (no error messages). However, I still can't type all the letters on the (still connected) Stowaway. (This is done as user).
- When I try it on the "xkb-chinook" directory, I get the error above. (also as user).
Anyone get this behavior? Anyone able to fix it? Feels like I am so close to getting this working... dratted last step syndrome...
Thanks,
Sam

Chalk up another one for the response to the command that should theoretically complete the basic pairing setup:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Connect" with signature "" on interface "org.bluez.Input" doesn't exist
Trying to use an apple wireless keyboard, the thin compact aluminum one. I am using the bluetooth mac addy that is reported in the "hcitool scan" command.
also, HID was not present in my conf file, but input was and I just commented out that whole plugin line.
any thoughts?
