Apple bluetooth keyboard non-responsive after reboot (9.10alpha)
After much hanky-panky, I had eventually gotten the keyboard to persistently work in 9.04, but unfortunately needed to update to 9.10 because of the catastrophically broken intel video drivers in 9.04.
The keyboard still works, but after reboot it is in an odd state where the "bluetooth preferences" show it as connected even though it is completely non-responsive. Cycling the connection (disconnect, then reconnect) will bring it right back up, but this requires (at minimum) another wired keyboard present to log in with. (Had to borrow a wired keyboard from work to accomplish this.)
From what I was able to understand during the setup process in 9.04, one of the key steps was modifying /etc/default/
Some details about the system, which is a mac mini purchased in December 2008 (probably missing all the important stuff, but give me a little slack; it's my first attempt at asking a question) ---
