Subject: [PATCH] Fix for Acer  Bluetooth Optical Rechargeable Mouse

	This patch works around one problem with my Acer Bluetooth Optical 
Rechargeable Mouse where the cursor gets stuck at screen's upper-left corner. 
Even my notebook's touchpad is not able to move cursor when the bluetooth 
mouse is connected to my Acer Ferrari 4005 notebook. Using input session 
instead of hid session solves this problem although the cursor still moves a 
little sluggishly with the bluetooth mouse, cursor moves correctly using the 
touchpad. My bluetooth mouse used to work well (no sluggish) until kernel 
2.6.21, since then the problems are getting worse with each kernel release (it 
got sluggish in 2.6.22 and this this upper-left corner problem appeared in 
2.6.28 or 2.6.27).
