I actually ran across vkbd, it looks like a generic way to insert
keyboard events into the kernel, but not specific to any technology like
bluetooth.  I'm assuming you also have a user-land daemon that uses
sockets to talk on bluetooth then pass the event to vkbd.  Is there a
place to find the userland daemon source at the moment or do you just
have a private copy?

I would like to help with this project since I've had my bluetooth
keyboard sitting on the shelf for months waiting for support in freebsd
and I have been doing some other work in bluetooth recently.

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.
