Add option TypeName (#62831)
evdev tries to assign the right XI 1.x type-name based on various device capabilities. In some cases, that fails. e.g. the Mionix Naos 5000 mouse looks like a keyboard. And we assign a keyboard type in that case since there are plenty of keyboards that also advertise some axes or others. Add a new option TypeName to allow for system-wide configuration of such devices in a quirks file. This can also be used to address #55867 X.Org Bug 62831 <http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62831> Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>
