Just got my new AMD Fusion stuff and started to setup it as a HTPC.
After few hours of tweaking I'm ready to throw the towel in regarding my Prodige NanoX bluetooth keyboard. I just can't seem to get it to work.

I'm trying to setup ubuntu-based XBMC. I installed XBMC-live on my system but it has too old versions of packages for fusion so I upgraded the packages from natty repositorys.

All is well and system boots up to XBMC on boot just fine and I got my WPA-secured wireless to work too.

Now I need to get the bluetooth keyboard to work in it but everything I try seems to result in error. I'm only interested in CLI solutions as only GUI in the box is the XBMC application.

I can scan my keyboard with "hcitool scan" and it returns the keyboards MAC but what to do after this?
I've added the MAC to /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf and uncommented the default lines in it and restarted the bluetooth system but I guess the keyboard should be paired with the computer before I can use it. How is this done?

Most information I could find details old versions of bluez package with hidd utility or uses GUI-tools so its hard the figure out the steps necessary for this to work.

Maybe this will help. The command to pair via commandline is displayed within the article.
