8 I know nothing about the synaptics driver, so be careful about deleting
9 it. Maybe rename it instead of deleting it?

15 That depends on what hardware you have -- a lot of the stuff that once
16 went into xorg.conf can be put in an fdi file now.
17
18 Here is an example: I have an unusual mouse with four buttons and no
19 wheel, and I use one extra button to simulate a mouse wheel:
20
21 $cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-logitech.fdi
22 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
23 <deviceinfo version="0.2">
24 <device>
25 <match key="info.product" contains="ImExPS/2">
26 <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
27 <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">8</merge>
28 </match>
29 </device>
30 </deviceinfo>
31
32 The two lines with "input.x11_options" used to be in my xorg.conf in the
33 Input section. Those lines do the same thing now that I've moved them into
34 an fdi file.
