I have a Logitech diNovo for several years now and it really worked fine under windows. But I’ve switched to ubuntu on my desktop machine about one year ago. And I got the keyboard + mouse running via bluetooth after searching a lot about this topic (examples: here, here and here). But (re-)connecting did not work properly, I always had to use this command:
sudo hidd --search
And how do you type a command when your keyboard is not connected? Yes, you use another keyboard plugged via PS/2 and this sucks!

And now? When I ran this command for the first time with the new Ubuntu 8.04 everything worked fine
