nokia internet tablet 770 help request

Tags:

recently i purchased a blue tooth keyboard for my internet tablet assuming that it would work because my nokia 770 has bluetooth and i think i saw somrwhere that you could use a usb keyboard (wouldnt even know where to plug the usb from the keboard in) does any person know anything about drivers or anything for a bluetooth keyboard if any are needed or how to use a bluetooth keyboard on an internet tablet??? sorry if this has already been addressed or that its not in the right forum thread because this is all i could find in a search for internet tablet.
bye

(im very new to linux)

bluez-utils

You will need to install 'bluez-utils' (or 'bluetooth'):

apt-get install bluez-utils

Then read the docs and set things up on the bluetooth side. You may need to install 'btscanner' to figure out the ID etc for your magic keyboard:
apt-get install btscanner

Then you need to ensure that the 'input' driver is running - what version of kernel do you have? $(uname -r)

On 2.6 kernels you do:
modprobe uinput

You will also need the USB HID driver:
modprobe usb-hid

If you have all the latest software I think that should work - otherwise for a little history have a look at:
http://klausler.com/msbtkb-linux.html
You will probably want to look at that article anyway to see how the author set things up.
