I was asking about the diNovo Mini keyboard a while back,
and can now report that it does work under fedora 8 if
I add the magical kernel boot parameter:

   usbhid.quirks=0x046d:0xc71f:0x00080000

Full story at: http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/mini.html

Don't worry: A usbhid patch is in the works to incorporate
the above magic into the driver so the parameter will (eventually)
not be required and the touchpad will work out of the box.

Thankfully, this got it working as a USB device, so there is no
need to try and figure out how to make it automatically
connect (and stay connected) as a bluetooth device (something
which appears to be impossible with the current state of bluetooth).
