Exactly, that would be great.

I think it was somewhere mentioned that it got fixed with some USB-HID rewrite
in 2.6.36 or 2.6.37. We could not reproduce it with Linux 3.2 from backports
and internal builds of 2.6.37. But I can see that this isn't a proper
explanation or reason for an inclusion upstream.
