Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

This bug report is inspired by the information and suggestions in bug ID 124406, which suggested filing it as an xorg bug.  After pairing an Apple Wireless Keyboard (bluetooth, the newer model that takes 2 batteries instead of 3), I experience a couple different problems:
    - Erratic behavior from the mouse.  It seems as if the second button doesn't work consistently, and even before clicking any mouse buttons, lines in my xterms get highlighted as if I had dragged over them with button 1.  Moving, clicking, etc doesn't remove the highlighting, but killing the bluetooth service seems to fix it.
    - Keyboard input degrades.  Immediately after pairing, I am able to type a full sentence (my test has been "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog").  After typing that once, maybe twice, I start to see keys drop out.  Quickly, I get a key error rate where about 1 in less than 10 keys are dropped from input.  I also get erratic key repeats, where it seems as if a key is stuck down.

This is a brand new keyboard, and testing it against an Apple laptop
shows none of these problems.  I have tested using 2 different Bluetooth
adapters, one USB and one PCIe-mini, and the problem is exhibited in
both.

I don't know if it requires a separate bug report, but I've also found
the pairing process to be extremely erratic.  Using kbluetooth or
blueman doesn't work consistently, if ever, but "hidd --search" will
consistently work.

Thank you.
