Nothing was working. Of course the btkeyboard plugin also didn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>I could see the Apple keyboard (see output below) but it wouldn&#8217;t connect. What worked was so simple- I just looked at what the btkeyboard plugin was running- a command called hidd.<\/p>\n<pre>Nokia770-51:\/home\/user# hcitool scan\nScanning ...\n        00:0A:95:38:AF:7A       Apple Wireless Keyboard\n        00:02:72:00:E0:96       blued[192.168.251.11]\n        00:0A:95:D2:97:76       blinky\n<\/pre>\n<p>So after the plugin failed, I just ran hidd -n &#8211;search and boom it connected. I could type in the xterm and in notepad. The only annoying this is that the Return key opens and closes the virtual keyboard in the xterm.<\/p>\n<p>The full command and output was:<\/p>\n<pre>Nokia770-51:~# hidd -n --search\nSearching ...\n        Connecting to device 00:0A:95:38:AF:7A<\/pre>\n<p>My \/etc\/bluetooth\/pin file contains just &#8220;1234&#8221; (no quotes). That was all I did. I didn&#8217;t type the pin on the keyboard- it just started working.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure I wasn&#8217;t using something btkeyboardplugin installed, I removed that, rebooted and was able to re-connect my Apple keyboard right away.
