Hi Brett,

the existing code does this already, as far as I can tell.  It checks
for ABS_X or ABS_Z for the x axis, and ABS_Y or ABS_RX for the y axis.
Why is your patch necessary on top of that? (the code rework and
whitespace changes that are also in this patch make it hard to see the
real changes, if any)

Cheers,
Julien
