I have a bluetooth Logitech diNovo Edge keyboard (with mouse pad)
which I'm trying to get working using the evdev driver. I believe
the bluetooth part is working fine as I get two devices in
/dev/input .
Not sure if this will be much help, but I do have that same keyboard
working fine on a kubuntu box. Reason I say I may not be much help is
because I didn't have to do anything to get it to work. I just had to
pair the bluetooth devices and then it worked (both keyboard and mouse
pad).
I do know the dongle can operate in two modes, HID and HCI. Do you know
which mode yours is in?
Maybe you could run a live cd of (k)ubuntu with your keyboard and see
what they did as far as config files?
Thanks for all the suggestions. In the end I just removed the XkbModel
and it worked. Peter's comment about it just working for him encouraged
me to try to simplify things. I also put back the device path to
event* in case the event number changes on reboot. I must admit that I
don't understand how it maps the bytes sequences coming from the
keyboard into characters, but I guess there is a udev rule somewhere
which is doing this.
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "True"
#Option "XkbLayout" "uk"
#Option "XkbModel" "evdev"
EndSection
Regards the HID/HCI modes I noticed this recent thread
(http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/Bug-626975-bluez-Logitech-diNovo-Edge-Keyboard-working--ftopict537340.html)
which suggests that things are not quite "right" with way this keyboard
is currently set up.
