Bluetooth keyboards are not officially supported on the N900, i.e. Maemo Fremantle, but it's possible to get them working with some hacking.
Devices
Device | Product Link | Success Reports |
---|---|---|
iGo Stowaway Keyboard | Amazon] | [1] |
Nokia SU-8W | Nokia] | [2] |
Procedure
sudo gainroot cd /usr/share/X11/xkb-chinook/ wget http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=5221 -O xkb-chinook.tar tar xf xkb-chinook.tar cp -i xkb-chinook/symbols/pc xkb/symbols/. cp -i xkb-chinook/symbols/us xkb/symbols/. cp -i xkb-chinook/geometry/pc xkb/geometry/.
- Every time the keyboard connects, you need to run setxkbmap:
setxkbmap -device 4 -I -I/usr/share/X11/xkb-chinook -rules base -model pc105 -layout us
For the Nokia SU-8W keyboard, use "nokiasu8w" instead of "pc105".
After running this command, press any key on the N900's internal keyboard, and you should be able to type numbers and symbols on the bluetooth keyboard.
