Could you explain the exact steps to reproduce the problem, and let us know: - the state of the power button (is the led flashing? is the led off?) - whether the keyboard shows up in the input devices (in the bluetooth preferences, select "input service", check the table underneath) - whether the keyboard shows up as connected (there should be a funnel-like device next to the rest of the icons in the table mentioned above). well, I used this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224673 yes the green LED if flashing, I presumed that was discovery mode yes, it is there under input service yes there is(i thought it was a plug), but just when its in discovery mode, or when I'm pressing a key well, I used this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224673 yes the green LED if flashing, I presumed that was discovery mode yes, it is there under input service yes there is(i thought it was a plug), but just when its in discovery mode, or when I'm pressing a key I have had lots of problems with Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (aluminium) and Fedora as well. First connection issues can be solved by following Ubuntu guides. I have also a post about it at http://chasethedevil.blogspot.com/2008/06/fedora-linux-apple-bluetooth-keyboard.html Even after following these guides, the keyboard disconnects regularly (it might be because of the usb bluetooth key). The only way I found to have it work very well was to patch the kernel using this patch: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy.git;a=blobdiff;f=net/bluetooth/hidp/core.c;h=dfaef02ba7b49f9503b6ae796090b39f6cc59a08;hp=42dd2b972cbe630acbedfefc334263b07aeac60b;hb=3923c54f44b4e8d31118b8a8b096cc85013d859f;hpb=97ea54575ec58a5bcf13ccf20556f4e68d961bf1 (lines change but it is very simple to adapt to Fedora latest kernel). Created attachment 309889 [details] Bluetooth wakeup patch Original patch: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.devel/15745 This is required for Bluetooth keyboard and mice, as otherwise they won't be able to reconnect automatically to the computer after being unused for a while. FWIW, I've asked Marcel to commit it to his tree, but I think it's going to have to wait until he finishes his work on Simple Pairing. He wrote the original patch. *** Bug 427677 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Updated patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/holtmann/bluetooth-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=97b8120e3ad27520bbd9b4e48f2dc08f9cd0037a Could one of the kernel maintainers please push this?
