Due to the working old version of bluetooth Virtual Laser Keyboard, I 
purchased an new one with german keyboard layout "QWERTZ" [1].
The new one, called Celluon Epic works but I had some trouble:
First problem was the point, the Epic does not support bluetooth 
connection with PIN! So Qtmoko requires a PIN during pairing the 
bluetooth devices. If I connect the Epic by using "hidd --connect" 
command, everything works fine. But I can not connect it with QtMoko 
GUI! I read in some instructions for newer bluetooth devices, that no 
PIN is required. I think this option shoult be implemented in QtMoko, too.
Second problem: Instead of german layout, I get the english version, 
only. Instead "ä", "ö", "ü" and so on, I get the keys of english 
keyboard. So how can I change this? I set the "german" input in Qtmoko's 
options...no change!
