Is there some way to turn the predictive dictionary off?

Without keyboard:
root at om-gta02:~# hal-find-by-capability --capability input.keyboard
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_s3c2440_i2c_logicaldev_input
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_neo1973_button_0_logicaldev_input

After connecting the bluetooth keyboard (hidd --search) I get:
root at om-gta02:~# hal-find-by-capability --capability input.keyboard
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_a12_1_noserial_if0_bluetooth_hci_bluetooth_hci_logicaldev_input
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_s3c2440_i2c_logicaldev_input
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_neo1973_button_0_logicaldev_input

After disconnecting bt kbd (hidd --killall) it reverts to the first result.

I haven't made a USB adaptor for host mode yet so no USB keyboard results.
