I am running Apple Bluetooth keyboard on -CURRENT. I order to accomplish that, I have followed steps outlined by Eric Anderson here http://destari.blogspot.com/2006/01/setting-up-bluetooth-mouse-on-freebsd.html There seems to be a quirk in the bthidd which causes it reattach keyboard every couple of minutes, so I am accustomed to seeing vkbd >10000 being attached but these seem to be harmless enough. YMMV, though. At some point, I also had this http://www.thinkoutside.com/stowawaybt_product.html working with the other laptop (back in the day when 6.x was -CURRENT), but mostly out of curiosity.
