[Jeffrey Baker]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

The server crashes if a bluetooth keyboard comes and goes too many times, for instance if the keyboard has failing batteries or is barely in radio range.

Er, I just noticed I have the xorg-edgers PPA installed. Perhaps this bug does not exist in mainline.

Hi Jeffrey,

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you

Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so
we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference
bug 469356 in your report if you think it may be related):
