Has anyone ever used a Grandtec Key-3000? I'm trying to get one set up, but have had no luck, and can't find any information out there. It's a wireless keyboard and trackball. I thought it would be seen as just a USB keyboard and mouse, but so far, it doesn't do anything. Any ideas?
You would have to provide at least what happens in dmesg when you plug it in. Preferrably also lsusb output for the device.
The USB plug gets identified as a keyboard and mouse, but not as a bluetooth radio. This way it can be used even before a user has logged in and bluetooth becomes operative. On a laptop you can attach the diNovo Edge as a normal bluetooth keyboard/mouse without using the included USB dongle. Of course you then have to log in using the laptop keyboard before you can switch
I'm sorry, I didn't have all of the info ready. I won't have internet access set up until Tuesday. Hence, the mail coming from my phone. It turns out I just wasn't getting the keyboard married to the reciever properly. Now, it works under Gnome, unfortunately, before I log in, or in text mode it sends keys as if I had Fn held down, e.g. pressing the J key results in a 1. I was planning on seting up auto login on this box anyway. It's going to be a Mythbox. Thanks for your help, though.
