My driver already does that:  option "TopEdgeScroll".  But, it produces
button 6/7 (mouse) events, not keyboard events.  Having a mouse driver
produce keyboard events may not be possible the way the X server is set up.
Or, can it just call xf86PostKeyboardEvent (or whatever it's called)?

Anybody know about this?
