Wow thanks that is exactly the sort of thing we are looking for.  Super!

I now see that I failed to mention in my original e-mail that we have to get
it to work under XFree86 4.2.0, and the X.org documentation might not apply
to the relatively old 4.2.0 version.

The XOrgInputSpec page from the website above says "This page is intended 
as a place to evolve the design specifications for the next version of the 
XINPUT for the X.org server."  I'm glad that "they" are finally documenting 
things in a proper way.

Do you know of any such documentation that would apply directly to XFree86
4.2.0 and so forth?

Thanks again,
Jim
