[Novalug] Meaning of shell options

[Ken Kauffman]

All these list posts, I feel like we've all configured Jay's machines and he
just does the typing (bahahahahaha)

Ok Jay - here is something for you to try.   This should allow the Xserver
to auto configure your mouse:

For the input block of the mouse in the xorg.conf file, try this.  Also make
sure that the "Identifier" matches the InputDevice name in the server
layout.  Since you're using a modern distro, it should support udev
configurations.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "evdev"
        Option      "evBits"        "+1-2"
        Option      "keyBits"       "~272-287"
        Option      "relBits"       "~0-2 ~6 ~8"
        Option      "Pass"          "3"
EndSection
