Bug remains unsolved in latest Feisty PPC build.  We tested

iMac G5 rev B
Apple bluetooth keyboard A1016
Apple bluetooth mouse A1015
Feisty daily build 29 Jan 2007
Alt-powerpc disc : "install-powerpc64"
(kernel 2.6.20-5-powerpc64-smp)

So kernel >= 2.6.19 evidently does not solve the problem(s).  The GDM
lockup remains.  To echo/confirm the original bug, we are saying that
for this test, "once GDM comes up, my bluetooth devices are no longer
functional."

Workarounds offered above gave no usability.  Typing keys and moving the
mouse fail.  There is some initial activity with keys but then lockup.
You can type about 3 letters into GDM.  The mouse cursor never moves.

Installed bluetooth config files are (wrongly?) defaulted to
HIDD_ENABLED=0 which was changed, but to no avail.

Removing bluez* makes the keyboard work and GDM login possible.  The
Apple bluetooth mouse never works in GNOME at all with or without
bluez*.  It works fine in Mac OS X 10.4.8.  The mouse hardware is ok.

Booting "Linux single" gives a usable prompt and the keyboard works
there, as it does with the alt installer.
