Try:

cd /var/lib/bluetooth/*
grep Think *

This should list the line in the names file showing the keyboards MAC address. Using all or part of the MAC address type

grep <your MAC address> *

This will list all of the files you need to edit.

EDIT: As musikgoat points out below, you need to reboot after editing the files.

Hope this helps

It's as if OS2008 is acknowledging that it's getting input, but then discarding the input afterward.

No combination of starting from scratch (i.e. removing keyboard MAC references from /var/log/bluetooth/<MAC>/* and rebooting) has changed this. After I couldn't fix the problem after a lot of trying the first time, I reflashed the N800 and it started working perfectly. Then I installed a lot of software and at some point after my last install, it stopped working. I don't think it's correlated with the last couple of things I installed. But it may be correlated with some other application that ran. I tried the above solutions again (not the reflashing), and also tried removing spaces from the keyboard name, and rebooting every time. I'm still stuck with the same behavior. Reflashing/reinstalling takes too long. Any clues on what else to try?
