I have had my apple bt keyboard working in linux for some time on my old
pc. I now have a new pc and I can't get the damn thing going...
I am using the same bluetooth adaptor from the old pc and as far as I
can tell the same kernel config (as relates to bluetooth) as the old pc.
This is with bluez-libs and utils 2.7.
Reading through the archives I saw some mention of hcidump but I don't
seem to have that.

Here is my bluetooth kernel config. As far as I know all I need is
RFCOMM and HIDP support but since I was having trouble I figured what
the hell and turned on everything. What can I safely turn off down there?
Linux Kernel v2.6.8-rc2 Configuration
--- Bluetooth subsystem support
<*> L2CAP protocol support
<*> SCO links support
<*> RFCOMM protocol support
[*] RFCOMM TTY support
<*> BNEP protocol support
[*] Multicast filter support

[*] UART (H4) protocol support

< > HCI BlueFRITZ! USB driver
<*> HCI VHCI (Virtual HCI device) driver
My hcid.conf file...
# HCI daemon configuration file.

options {
autoinit yes;

device {

lm accept;
lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;

}
bluepin is just the basic echo "PIN:0000" or whatever...
What am I missing here? I am completely stumped. Thank you for any help!

if you overwrite the prefix you should also overwrite the sysconfdir
unless you really want it that way. Look at the configure example from
the README file.

Ah ha! I changed /etc/bluetooth/pin so it only contained 0000 and now
it's all working wonderfully!
Thank you so much for all your help!

Ah! Now I am getting somewhere...
In my log there were such obvious errors as....
Aug 8 13:38:53 Kawaii64 hcid[7695]: Bluetooth HCI daemon
Aug 8 13:38:53 Kawaii64 hcid[7695]: Can not open /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
Aug 8 13:38:53 Kawaii64 hcid[7695]: Config load failed
Aug 8 13:38:53 Kawaii64 hcid[7695]: Can't open PIN file
/etc/bluetooth/pin. No such file or directory(2)
When bluez installed it made all those files in /usr/etc/bluetooth/ but
I guess it wasn't looking there so I copied it all over to
/etc/bluetooth and things are looking up...
So then I was getting things such as:
> HCI Event: Link Key Request (0x17) plen 6
E4 63 3A 95 0A 00
< HCI Command: Link Key Request Negative Reply (0x01|0x000c) plen 6
E4 63 3A 95 0A 00
hidd said:
Can't create HID control channel: Invalid exchange
So I replaced /etc/bluetooth/pin and /usr/bin/bluepin with the echo
"PIN:0000" and now it doesnt seem to complain in hcidump:
> HCI Event: PIN Code Request (0x16) plen 6
E4 63 3A 95 0A 00
< HCI Command: PIN Code Request Reply (0x01|0x000d) plen 23
E4 63 3A 95 0A 00 04 30 30 30 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00
> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 10
01 0D 04 00 E4 63 3A 95 0A 00
But hidd says:
Can't create HID control channel: Permission denied
So close...

this actually means that hcid is not running. Check your logfiles.

I have been typing in "0000 enter" and "1234 enter" to see if I can get
anything to work but no dice. I didn't have to do this on my old machine
though, or is it something you have to do just once and I've since
forgotten having to do it?
I uninstalled 2.7 before installing 2.9. I did save the init script
though and I am still using it... you can view it here:

start the hcid and sdpd from a boot script. Make sure that only one hcid
is running.

On first connect to your keyboard you must input the PIN on it and press
enter. Run "hcidump -x" as root to check what is going on.

I hope you removed the distro packages first, before installing the new
ones. Ask the package maintainer to adapt the upstream version.

Alright I got libz, utils, and pin 2.9. I had to install dbus to get
bluez-pin to compile.
Now I have to do hciconfig hci0 up to get the adaptor to wake up...
Now whenever I try to connect with hidd it always times out.
Ah yes and I am using a 2.6.8-rc3 colonel now.
2.7 was a package from my distro, I had to do 2.9 by hand. I guess there
is a chance I missed something but it all seemed to go over without a
hitch installation wise.
Thanks for everyones replies!

don't suggest the master option, because this is only needed in very
special cases. The hidd program can request the role switch by itself.

Feel a bit silly replying to my own question but I did just now notice
with dmesg the single line error:
drivers/usb/input/hid-input.c: event field not found
Maybe that's a clue to what's happening? Or not happening?
