Used it on my microserver with ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 and openelec and worked 100% out of the box with all.

What linux are you running?

Same here, worked first time on a mini-ITX Sandybridge setup running Openelec

Do you have your bluetooth stack and applications installed and working?

Look in the wiki of the distro you are using for a bluetooth how-to, should be straight forward.

thanks will take a look, using mint cinnamon. got the bluetooth stack installed but the k/b works on a r/f receiver, will that affect Bluetooth.

It doesn't use bluetooth but it does use 2.4GHz.

 

[supafly1]

so is there a stack i need to install for that or not?

Thanks
