Actually I have changed your patch to add a quirk for my bluetooth controller
(0a5c:200a), so it only undoes the change for this particular bluetooth
controller. The default link policy settings mentioned in commit "[Bluetooth]
Make use of the default link policy settings" does not work properly with this
mouse even in Windows. In Windows the mouse is slow to react even today,
increasing acceleration in mouse settings helped but then the touchpad becomes
to sensitive, the mouse had always worked better in Linux than in Windows
until kernel 2.6.21. In 2.6.22 the input-to-hid change happened in hci_usb
module and the mouse started to behave like in Windows. In 2.6.27 the stutter
problem was introduced, in 2.6.29 hci_usb module was removed and only btusb
was available, but with hid+btusb+2.6.2[89] the cursor gets stucked at upper-
left corner, with hid+hci_usb+2.6.28 there is only the stutter problem.
Finally, after two years trying to find the causes of those problems it is
working well again, better than in Windows, so please add those two patches to
the kernel. I even got to the point to undo the input-to-hid change from
kernels 2.6.22 until 2.6.26 and port the modified 2.6.26 bluetooth subsystem
to kernels 2.6.2[789] until I find a better solution, which seems to be those
two patches.
