dinovo problem ... hid2hci

I more or less have my dinovo keyboard working under bluez and gentoo. There are two problems I wanted to ask about:
1. The dongle doesnt reset to HID mode when system is shut off ... so I have no ability to use the keyboard in grub! I need to write a script to reset it to hid mode when the system is shut off. How can i do this? The hid2hci program supposedly provides an option to switch back to hid mode ... but it doesn't work. I get the error "No devices in hid mode found" (obviously!).

2. The functions keys on my dinovo dont work (fn keys). The mouse is stuck in f-lock mode where the function keys are special keys ... but I want them to just work as f1 ... f12. What do i need to get the f-lock key working?

we don't know the magic sequence to switch it back into HID mode.

What do the function keys have to do with the mouse. About what diNovo generation are we talking.
