Bluetooth keyboards

[Hrabosh]

Any update on BT kayboard?

I got mine a few days ago and although it works with my Linux laptop
(connecting using Gnome panel applet), I'm not able to use it with FR.

I've found both articles on Wiki:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Freedom_Slim_Keyboard

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_Bluetooth#HID_.28Human_Input_Device.29

but the commands doesn't seem to be working. I'm getting the best
results with 

hdid --connect ADDRESS

after which command I have this in dmesg:

[10713.020000] Bluetooth: HIDP (Human Interface Emulation) ver 1.2
[10802.370000] input: Broadcom Corp.   Keyboard
as /devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:42/input6
[10802.380000] generic-bluetooth 0005:0A5C:8502.0001: input: BLUETOOTH
HID v1.1b Keyboard [Broadcom Corp.   Keyboard] on 00:06:6E:17:29:5E

And if I cat /dev/input/event6 I can see some garbage on the screen
while pressing buttons on my keyboard. 

But If I open terminal or new message dialog, I can't see any letters
while typing on the keyboard.

 Thanks ,
 Hrabosh
