at the same time, or depending on the configuration? The
IgnoreAbsoluteAxes/IgnoreRelativeAxes options simply disable one of the two
on startup, allowing the other one to be initialized. that's for virtual
devices mostly used in VMs because our device autodetection fails there.

So short answer: yes, should be sufficient provided you stay in that mode
for the lifetime of the device.
