[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] bluetooth keyboard

[From: Frantisek Dufka]

Hello,

just to let you know. I've got uinput.ko module compiled and got kbdd 
working with my iPAQ bluetooth foldable keyboard. Now I need to add some 
gui. Either to integrate in into existing keyboard applet or create new one.

kbdd + uinput module binary is here
http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/kbdd.tgz

diff to kbdd for btfoldable type is here
http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/btfoldable.diff

No README, description how to make it working is here
http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/kbdd
but you need to insmod the uinput.ko module first (as root). It would be 
great if Nokia could add uinput module to standard N770 kernel.

Regards,
Frantisek
