In order to keep the number of InputClass sections manageable, allow
matches to contain multiple arguments. The arguments will be separated
by the '|' character. This allows a policy to apply to multiple types of
devices. For example:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Inverted Mice"
MatchProduct "Crazy Mouse|Silly Mouse"
Option "InvertX" "yes"
EndSection
This applies to the MatchProduct, MatchVendor and MatchDevicePath
entries. Currently there is no way to escape characters, so names or
patterns cannot contain '|'.

Currently Xorg uses hal's fdi files to decide what configuration options
are applied to automatically added input devices. This is sub-optimal
since it requires users to use a new and different configuration store
than xorg.conf.
The InputClass section attempts to provide a system similar to hal where
configuration can be applied to all devices with certain attributes. For
now, devices can be matched to:
* A substring of the product name via a MatchProduct entry
* A substring of the vendir name via a MatchVendor entry
* A pathname pattern of the device file via a MatchDevicePath entry
* A device type via boolean entries for MatchIsKeyboard, MatchIsPointer,
MatchIsJoystick, MatchIsTablet, MatchIsTouchpad and MatchIsTouchscreen
See the INPUTCLASS section in xorg.conf(5) for more details.
