[PATCH 0/3] xfree86: Configure input devices by properties

These patches add support in xorg.conf to apply input configuration to a
class of devices by property. The idea is to offer similar property
matching capabilities to the hal fdi system. Moving the configuration
back into the ddx means that some day we can stop doing it from the
config backend and asking users to adjust to it.

The mechanism used here is an InputClass section. Here is a contrived
example section showing all the current property matchers:

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier    "My Mice"

	DevicePattern "/dev/input/event*"
	NameContains  "Mouse"
	IsPointer     "yes"
	IsKeyboard    "no"

	Driver        "evdev"
	Option        "InvertX" "on"
EndSection
