Hmm.. usually those keyboards want to be paired first. So must have auth enabled. But even then it might be that you have to enter the PIN on the keyboard first before the requester on the Linux side pops-up. So IIRC the process could be (as root): put keyboard in pairing mode (press some button somewhere so it also becomes visible) start hcidump as root on some console and watch the output ;) try to connect the hidd to the keyboard (hidd --connect ) now you may get a auth request from the keyboard in the hcidump now enter a PIN on the keyboard and press the ENTER key, the PIN usually can only consist of numbers (like 1234) typed on the regular number key, not the numeric keypad! now again watch the hcidump output if your host is setup correctly the PIN request dialog should come up and you have to enter the same PIN as before there watch hcidump again - auth successful? Then it should work now! Not successful? Darn! OK, take two. Make the keyboard visible again. Now create a L2CAP connection manually by doing hcitool cc And now trigger the auth process manually hcitool auth And then follow the above steps right _after_ the connect hidd step. After PIN exchange you should be paired and should be able to connect using hidd to your keyboard.
