I am thinking of getting a new bluetooth apple pro keyboard but am unsure if it will work ok etc :).
ATM I have a apple pro keyboard on my pc and it has been working for over 2 years without any problems. I'm just unsure about bluetooth etc :) the only bluetooth keyboard howto I could see was for the micro$oft one :(.

For the sake of keeping the forum up to date with answers: yes, you can get the bluetooth keyboard working and yes you can do it on an x86.

Here is one example of how you can get it to work

Basically once you follow a bluetooth kernel guide (this assumes that your bluetooth dongle or chipset is supported) you can run
Code:
hidd --server --search
and you should be off and typing!
