Is it possible to have my bluetooth keyboard active before I enter into the desktop environment? I'm unable to type in my login and password at the login screen because the Debian hasn't associated with my bluetooth keyboard until I manually tell it too.

Also can I extend bluetooth keyboard useability to Grub's dualboot screen as well?

At this stage I have to plug in my wired keyboard just to deal with these two events. Can you show me how to set up my wireless keyboard to be automatically available at the boot screen, or at least at the login screen.

I'm currently using the default Bluetooth manager with Unity, Ubuntu 11.04, and pairing is rather difficult and non-automated, and does not extend to outside of the desktop environment. (In fact I have to remove it and re-pair it every time and it does not even work reliably.)
