D-BUS Configuration API v0.1
----------------------------
The X server will register the bus name org.x.config.displayN, and the
object /org/x/config/N, where N is the display number.
Currently only hotplugging of input devices is supported.
org.x.config.input:
org.x.config.input.add:
Takes an argument of key/value option pairs in arrays, e.g.:
[ss][ss][ss][ss]
is the signature for four options. These options will be passed
to the input driver as with any others.
Option names beginning with _ are not allowed; they are reserved
for internal use.
Returns one int32, which is an X Status, as defined in X.h. If
everything is successful, Success will be returned. BadMatch will
be returned if the options given do not match any device. BadValue
is returned for a malformed message.
Notably, BadAlloc is never returned: the server internally signals
to D-BUS that the attempt failed for lack of memory.
The return does not notify the client of which devices were created
or modified as a result of this request: clients are encouraged to
listen for the XInput DevicePresenceNotify event to monitor changes
in the device list.
org.x.config.input.remove:
Takes one int32 argument, which is the device ID to remove, i.e.:
i
is the signature.
Same return values as org.x.config.input.add.
org.x.config.input.listDevices:
Lists the currently active devices.
Return value is sequence of <id> <name> <id> <name> ...
