 Thx to answer me so fast, sorry that in the precedent patch i forget to 
clean fakehid.c. This is done in this patch. As, I have see in the cvs you 
should have a J3 Keyboard too... :-)
About my Nokia, I know the applet but i don't have take the time to 
analyse source codes.

 Gonna retry to suscribe list with webform at home.

I have put a file fakehid.txt in the CVS with the characteristics of
this keyboard and also the presenter device.

Make sure to send me one for testing ;)

The Nokia 770 has no supported HID support. However you can install an
applet that gives you keyboard support. This however runs hidd and so it
should not be a big problem to integrate it.

The hidd needs D-Bus support and a small redesign. However at the moment
we are just finishing the D-Bus support in hcid and its sdpd integration
and so it might take some time before we start looking at hidd. However
feel free to propose something.

No idea what this means. Nobody needs a secure mail server to subscribe
to bluez-devel. Simply use the webform to subscribe.

> PS2: Any comments about my patche are welcome...

It needs a little bit nicer and cleaner integration work, but it seem a
good step forward to make this keyboard work under Linux.

a slight modified version is now committed to the CVS.

The hidd needs to be D-Bus enabled.

OK, thx. Gonna use it monday morning, but it seems that the do_search=20
option(function) won't find the device.

Note: You dislike my doxygen comments ? ;-)
Being serious I still ask me why people (like you) in low-level free softwa=
res=20
still don't use tools/comments like doxygen to make their code more easily=

understandable for others.

 For exemple doxygen comments could have make me understand the fakehid=20
variable before to send you my patch...=20

I overlooked that part. Fixed now.

I don't even looked that deeply at your patch. I took your key mapping
table and then implemented it.

And btw. the left space bar is not working.

A lot of stuff could have made it easier, but most projects don't even
document internal functions at all. Feel free to blame the author, oh
wait a second that is me, so no blame allowed ;)
