Logitech bluetooth keyboard

[Singlish]

I just found this Forum on Logitech!


Hi Great News,
 
With the launch of new Yellow Dog Linux 6, the MediaBoard Pro support is sorted out.  Pls try out the following :
 
1. Follow the normal install procedure for YDL6;
 
2. Launch YDL 6 in KDE mode (supposely also work in other GNOME or E16 mode) with root;
 
3. Issue command 
 
#hidd --server -n
 
4. Turn on / reset the keyboard, and wait for a few seconds, the screen will appear something like this :
 
hidd [xxxx]: Rejected connection from unknown device AA;BB:CCD:EE:FF
 
5. Press ctrl-c to close hidd and write
 
#hidd -connect AA:BB:CCD:EE:FF
 
6. Issue command to verify the keyboard connection
 
#hidd --search
 
Now, the MediaBoard keyboard shall work remotely even after the YDL6 is restarted / rebooted.  Have Fun !!

Thanks very much for the help. I was able to get my keyboard to work. As you 
can tell, I'm new to Linux and not used to command lines, not since my DOS 
days, but am learning. Any help getting Adobe flash player to work, such as 
for YouTube, would be appreciated.

Thanks again,
Steve
