Hi Aayla,

Sorry if I misunderstood you. I thought you were talking about the overall
Bluetooth support as the ticket is registered to the 'Bluetooth' component.

When Bluetooth is not enabled, the use of a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse
(whatever the brand) is accomplished through the bluetooth chip directly with
some special Apple circuitry and the keyboard and mouse are seen by Linux as a
USB keyboard and a USB mouse. This is done to have early keyboard and mouse
support during boot (for instance you use the arrows keys in Refind).

However the keyboard and mouse are seen like standard USB keyboard, and I'm not
sure it can be recognized as apple hardware.

Anyway, as I have a apple bluetooth keyboard and trackpad, I experience the
same problem. As the Bluetooth chip is not supported, I only have basic support
of the keyboard and trackpad, so no two finger scrolling nor special keys (as
Fn is always on like on a PC keyboard).
