Hi,

I recently updated Bluez to 4.99. In doing so my Apple bluetooth keyboard broke.

I added this keyboard by trial and error about 9 months back and it's been working great ever since. The box is a HTPC frontend running Ratpoison and Mythtv. No other graphical apps. So I added the keyboard from the command line.

Hopefully I can get to the bottom of why it's no longer working, but I was curious as to whether there is a current Bluetooth guide.

Neither the Gentoo Bluetooth guide nor the two Wiki pages appear to be updated.

Thanks
Ferg

FWIW the Bluetooth problem was because I never read about upgrading udev!

Code:
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
needs to be added into the kernel for udev 182 and above.
