[Bug 714764] [NEW] BIOS-controlled Bluetooth keyboard not working in Linux

[Eddie C]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth

Computer: Dell XPS M2010.
Release: 10.10 Maverick

This computer has a special detachable bluetooth keyboard that is
controlled by the BIOS. It works fine in Grub but stops working as soon
as Linux loads (even from a live CD). The keyboard also has a mouse pad
built in that DOES work with no problems, even if bluetooth is switched
OFF in Ubuntu.

Apparently, the BIOS simulates USB, I don't know if that is relevant.

This bug has been reported before, but closed unsolved:
