Re: break out separate wsmouse devices for ps2 types

[William Graeber]

For historical reference, Ulf has pointed out that I misunderstood what
was going on here, and this diff is incorrect.

There is a much more elegant way of handling this with xorg.conf that he
pointed out using separate InputClasses with MatchIsTouchPad and
MatchIsPointer options.

Thanks Ulf, and thanks jcs@ for getting me started.

break out separate wsmouse devices for ps2 types

[William Graeber]

I was having an issue where I was unable to separately define
sensitivity and acceleration on my X1.  When the touchpad is usable, the
trackpoint is borderline unusable (the opposite is also true).  xinput
was showing:

$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer  id=2[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointerid=4[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ /dev/wsmouse0 id=7[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ /dev/wsmouse  id=8[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3[master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard   id=5[slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ /dev/wskbd

Even though wsmouse0 and wsmouse1 were both present in the dmesg
(https://pastebin.com/raw/qZ9vK196).  This diff breaks out both wsmouse0
and wsmouse1 devices, so that you can set sensitivity/acceleration
separately on both.

This is my first diff, so I suppose if it receives positive feedback I
can go upstream.
