Hopefully this information will make it easier to implement support for the HP Touchpad Bluetooth Keyboard on other devices such as a Pre2 or Veer.

Using various tools under Ubuntu 11.04, I haven't been able to get info for Keyboard, Brightness Down, and Brightness Up. These keys may need a Touchpad device to get the information for, as the keys are known working there.

		+	=== UK / US keyboard differences ===
		+
		+	UK keyboard has Alt Gr instead of Symbol key. To get that key work with the above kmap file you need to change the following line:
		+	<br><br>
		+	keycode 100 = Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt Alt<br>
		+	--><br>
		+	keycode 100 = AltGr AltGr AltGr AltGr AltGr AltGr AltGr AltGr AltGr AltGr<br>
		+	<br>
		+	Naturally the kmap needs some other changes as well if you want to make the us kmap into proper uk one, but at least with this change you get the Alt Gr working as it should (i.e. the secondary keys start to work such as Alt Gr+a).

		+	The keymaps are located in the /usr/share/qt4/keymaps directory. There are 3 of them: keymap-us.qmap, keymap-de.qmap, keymap-fr.qmap. The keymap is loaded after the keyboard was successfully paired with the touchpad.
