Bluetooth keyboard issue

[Wolftousen]

Hello, recently bought a Rocketfish Bluetooth keyboard and Kensington Bluetooth dongle. I have managed to get the keyboard working after i log into a session with a script in /etc/init.d/:

sudo hciconfig up
sudo hciconfig hci0 piscan
sudo hciconfig hci0 noauth
sudo hciconfig hci0 nosecmgr
sudo hcitool inq
sudo hcitool scan
sudo hcitool info
sudo hidd --search

this is the /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

#
# HCI daemon configuration file.
#

# HCId options
options {
# Automatically initialize new devices
autoinit yes;

# Security Manager mode
# none - Security manager disabled
# auto - Use local PIN for incoming connections
# user - Always ask user for a PIN
#
security none;

# Pairing mode
# none - Pairing disabled
# multi - Allow pairing with already paired devices
# once - Pair once and deny successive attempts
pairing none;

# Default PIN code for incoming connections
passkey "1234";
}

device {
# Local device name
# %d - device id
# %h - host name
name "%h-%d";

# Local device class
class 0x000100;

# Default packet type
#pkt_type DH1,DM1,HV1;

# Inquiry and Page scan
iscan enable; pscan enable;
discovto 0;

# Default link mode
# none - no specific policy
# accept - always accept incoming connections
# master - become master on incoming connections,
# deny role switch on outgoing connections
lm accept;

# Default link policy
# none - no specific policy
# rswitch - allow role switch
# hold - allow hold mode
# sniff - allow sniff mode
# park - allow park mode
lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
}

device 00:18:A3:00:49:7F {
name "Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard"
class 0x002540
discovto 0;
lm accept;
lp rswitch,sniff;
auth enable;
encrypt enable;
iscan enable;
pscan enable;
}

I would like to have the script run prior to the log in screen so that I can rid myself of the corded keyboard that i have to have right now. I would also like to have my keyboard work at bios/grub (it currently doesn't)

I have tried using the hid2hci command, but option -0 says no devices in HCI mode found and option -1 says no devices in HID mode found...

My dongle is not in a usb hub, it is directly connected and usb legacy support is enabled. hciconfig lists:
hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:19:15:65:81:FE ACL MTU: 1017:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN
RX bytes:70826 acl:3705 sco:0 events:350 errors:0
TX bytes:1175 acl:24 sco:0 commands:39 errors:0

Is there anyway to get my keyboard/dongle to work pre-session start and at the boot screen?

Re: Bluetooth keyboard issue

So your executable script is already in /etc/init.d/

Have you told the system to re-read its init routine? If not, tell it to do so.

sudo update-rc.d

Now reboot - everything should be fine.

If you want to remove the script from the start-up process do a

sudo update-rc.d -f script_name remove

Please report back

Re: Bluetooth keyboard issue

running update-rc.d btkeyboardinit.sh defaults gives this message:
System startup links for /etc/init.d/btkeyboardinit.sh already exitsts...

I think when i went into system settings i told it to run the script during all modes (it even runs on shut down which wasn't intented...) But the keyboard never connects until i've logged in and then it's just after the sound starts to work that the connect button the keyboard stops flashing and i can start typing...
