Microsoft Keyboard Elite for Bluetooth & Microsoft IntelliMouse for Bluetooth
i386 Ubuntu 8.04 Alpha 6 with all updates, I keep current everyday.

The keyboard just doesn't want to connect. If I goto input service then add as I press the Make/Break Connection button on the keyboard it pops up but asks for passkey then crashes if one is not entered. When I try passkey of "0000" or "1234" it doesn't crash but its of no use still.

I have been able to get the mouse connected and working after some reading and messing around. But after install nothing just popped up to help connect Bluetooth keyboard & mouse on it's own. I had to manually go into the Bluetooth preferences and muck around. Not so user friendly, but still better then Fedora or Ubuntu 7.10 but PCLinuxOS owns when it comes to Bluetooth. Both Keyboard & Mouse worked with out any setup what so ever. I was even able to use them both during the install process unlike Ubuntu or Fedora.

I really wish Ubuntu was like PCLOS with Bluetooth devices working without any configuration needed.
It's really a pain having 2 of everything hooked up just to install.

P.S. I would attach the crash reports if I knew where they were located. I did tell it to uploaded them so hopefully that worked?
