Never heard of anyone with this keyboard.
The nice thing about this keyboard is that you can wrap it around the N810 so
that it doubles as both a keyboard and a protective case. It is the most
comfortable way to keep both the N810 and a keyboard in a pocket. It remains
to be seen if it actually is usefull for typing.
At least freedom, smartbt or
btfoldable types are worth of trying. What does 'it does not work' mean?
Swapped keys? Random key press or release events? Nothing at all?
I actually tried all of the keyboard types:
foldable
stowaway
stowawayxt
snapntype
snapntypebt
hpslim
smartbt
lirc
belkinir
flexis
q250
pocketvik
microfold
micropad
microkbd
targusir
freedom
btfoldable
I didn't keep track of the behaviour of each one but I noticed four broad
classes of behavor (all of them report connecting):
1. Some of them connect but then immediately disconnect.
2. Some stay connected but nothing happens when I press any keys.
3. Some stay connected. When I press some keys I get characters entered into
osso-xterm (but different from what I pressed) and when I press other keys
no character appears.
4. Some stay connected but a repeated string of the same character is entered
into osso-xterm even though I'm not pressing any key. When I press a key
it changes into a repeated string of a different character (but unrelated
to what I type). There appears no way to stop this and eventually the
osso-xterm process dies.
Also with any of those types (btfoldable at least) try to enable debug
output in btkbd.conf and watch /tmp/kbdd.log when you press and release
keys (tail -f over ssh or in another xterm window). You should see raw
scan codes for each key press or release. Then you can examine source
for same keyboard type or add your own. If you make table for
keyboards.h similar to one at the end of this
http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/btfoldable.diff I will add it to my build of
kbdd.
Thanks, I'll try this.
