            time.sleep(2)

It works fine so far, but I have to issues:

1) Is there a working German layout within xkb-chinook?
If I just use

HTML Code:

"cp -i xkb-chinook/symbols/de xkb/symbols/."

and

Code:

setxkbmap -device 4 -I -I/usr/share/X11/xkb-chinook -rules base -model pc105 -layout de

it does not work (I do have ü, ä, ö but on arrow keys )


2) I do not understand the last part of the wiki article.
What does "Put this in /etc/init.d/bluetooth-keyboard" mean?
Is that folder/file and how do I edit/create it?!


Thank you very much for your support!!

Hi,

yes, I can confirm the steps I have previously got together are still working, even after reflashing the device with the new firmware.
