+ + #269407: Update dexconf to reflect Linux input layer changes in 2.6.x:
+ # Set up an additional mouse device which points at the Linux kernel's
+ # multiplexed input subsystem node.
+ #
+ # We only write this stanza if the Configured Mouse is *not*:
+ # Linux 2.4: USB
+ # Linux 2.6: USB, PS/2, serial
+ #
+ # Configuring a mouse device on /dev/input/mice isn't a problem even on systems
+ # without CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV (i.e., without that device node), because this
+ # is not the core pointer, and failure to open it is not harmful.
+ #
+ # We also don't write this stanza if the Configured Mouse is the GPM repeater.
+ # We have no way of knowing what device GPM is repeating for, and it might be a
+ # device multiplexed into /dev/input/mice.
+ #
+ # Finally, we don't write this stanza if this is not Linux.
