Currently Xorg uses hal's fdi files to decide what configuration options
are applied to automatically added input devices. This is sub-optimal
since it requires users to use a new and different configuration store
than xorg.conf.
The InputClass section attempts to provide a system similar to hal where
configuration can be applied to all devices with certain attributes. For
now, devices can be matched to:
* A substring of the product name via a MatchProduct entry
* A substring of the vendir name via a MatchVendor entry
* A pathname pattern of the device file via a MatchDevicePath entry
* A device type via boolean entries for MatchIsKeyboard, MatchIsPointer,
MatchIsJoystick, MatchIsTablet, MatchIsTouchpad and MatchIsTouchscreen
See the INPUTCLASS section in xorg.conf(5) for more details.

Reshuffle and reword - InputDevice sections are only necessary if
hotplugging is disabled. Put more emphasis on hotplugging and less on HAL
since we'll switch backends eventually.
CorePointer, CoreKeyboard, and AlwaysCore should be listed as deprecated
since they don't do what they used to since 1.4. These days, only
SendCoreEvents matters and it's enabled for any driver calling
xf86ProcessCommonOptions (== every driver).
It only controls the startup behavior too, so document this.

SpecialKeyHandling was removed from the kbd driver with version 1.4.0. Since
this is the only version that will build against server 1.7+ it's not
reasonable to mention it in the man page. Reword, point to XKB instead and
make clear that some key combinations _may_ not be available in any given
config.

Using common defaults will reduce errors and maintenance.
Only the very small or inexistent custom section need periodic maintenance
when the structure of the component changes. Do not edit defaults.

Boolean option to enable/disable SIGIO handlers is set by the first
of these found:
- UseSIGIO option is set in xorg.conf ServerFlags
- Default set at build time by ./configure --enable-use-sigio-by-default
- Platform default value: Solaris = no, all others = yes
This matches the current settings on all platforms except Solaris.
This reverts Solaris (for now) to the settings used in Xorg 1.6, before
SIGIO support for Solaris was added, due to some system level bugs that
won't be resolved in time for Xorg 1.7 release, but allows us to enable
when those are resolved (or when we need to test if they're resolved).

This was a vestige from the days before we'd make the mode list from the
EDID data, and from CRT technology when you could reasonably assume that
higher refresh rates were better. Also it did not function as advertised,
acting as a high-pass filter instead of a band-pass.
Zapping is triggered by xkb these days, so note in the man page that it's the
Terminate_Server action. Since it's XKB, personal preferences towards or
against zapping should be achieved through xkb rulesets.
If Terminate_Server is not in the xkb actions, then we can't zap anyway and we
don't need a default of DontZap "on".
This patch restores the old meaning of DontZap - disallow zapping altogether,
regardless of XKB's current keymap.
Ideally, this patch should be accompanied by b0f64bdab00db652e in
xkeyboard-config.

and various formatting/typo/etc. fixes.
The Xorg/xorg.conf sections on input device selection could use further
updates to better match the current state of HAL-enabled configuration.
This consists of two parts:
In the implicit server layout, ignore those drivers when looking for a core
device.
And after finishing the server layout, run through the list of devices and
remove any that use mouse or kbd.
AEI is mutually exclusive with the kbd and mouse drivers, so pick either - or.

Remove AEI check from configImpliedLayout as the setting isn't actually parsed
at this point anyway (written by Sasha Hlusiak).
Resurrect checkInput() and check for devices there if AEI is false (this also
creates the default devices if required).
Set AllowEmptyInput to enabled by default if hotplugging is enabled.
Use __libmansuffix__ instead of __oslibmansuffix__ which isn't getting
replaced, and rewrap some text to get __xservername__ replaced in the
description of Option "Accel" (cpp doesn't like the preceding quote).
Right now we default to "all" which gives us a situation much like before,
but when the "typical" option is implemented, we can change the default and
reduce the number of visuals the GLX module bloats the X server with.
