		+	The FrogPad is a 20-key keyboard with a special layout which enables you to write with only one hand at nearly normaly speed. After roundabout 20 hours of continuous training, you should be able to write a text without looking at the keypad at an average speed (this is my experience.. may vary from mind to mind ;-) ).

		+	=== FrogPad with debian on the neo ===
		+	After following the steps in the link above, you won't be able to use your FrogPad as keyboard in the xserver. You have to follow these steps to get it working:
		+
		+	The keyboard is wrapped by the evdev driver, so you have to create a new InputDevice entry in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Before you can do this, you first need the hardware adress of your FrogPad, which you will get by typing:
		+
		+	cat /proc/bus/input/devices
		+
		+	This should give you something like this:
		+
		+	I: Bus=0005 Vendor=11c3 Product=0100 Version=0110
		+	N: Name="FrogPad Bluetooth Keyboard"
		+	P: Phys=''PHYSICAL_ADDRESS''

		+	B: ABS=300 0
		+	B: MSC=10
		+	B: LED=1f
		+
		+	In this output you will find the physical address of your FrogPad, which you will need for the xorg.conf:
		+
		+
		+	Section "InputDevice"
		+	Identifier "FrogPad"
		+	Driver "evdev"
		+	#See output from cat /proc/bus/input/devices from above for the event handler.
		+	#This should only be used if it doesn't work with the physical adress and the device name.

		+	.....

		+	...
		+	InputDevice "FrogPad"
		+	...
		+	EndSection
		+
		+	After this, you have to kill your x-server and restart it with
