I have a rather annoying problem that I hope someone can shed some light on because googling and forum searches did not do me any good.

My wireless bluetooth keyboard, that works when I enter BIOS and during the boot loader, stops working once I enter the XBMC GUI.

Tests I have performed:
1. Ubuntu Live 10.04 from USB: keyboard works fine in the GUI
2. XBMC Live 10.0 from USB: keyboard stops working once in the GUI
3. XBMC Live 10.0 from HD: keyboard stops working once in the GUI
3.1. Trying to re-pair the keyboard with the BT adapter by pressing the pairing buttons on the keyboard and the adapter when I have booted into XBMC does not yield any positive result.

Does anyone have an explanation to why the keyboard will not work in XBMC?
Or any suggestions on how to solve my issue or test to perform for debugging purposes?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Nerd
Exactly the same problem here. Anyone?
PS: I discovered even a simpler solution, just comment out that section of /lib/udev/rules.d/70-hid2hci.rules:

# Logitech devices
#KERNEL=="hiddev*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c70[345abce]|c71[34bc]", \
# RUN+="hid2hci --method=logitech-hid --devpath=%p"
