Not quite. I see that I had the MatchProduct clauses in my mouse
entries, so I guess that I knew about them when I last looked at this
stuff.
I am embarrassed to see that there was nothing in the Synaptics section,
but the bug report was about things that used to work suddenly breaking.
Ok, so I was just lucky in that it happened to work.
I have been experimenting with a number of new clauses, but they are not
yet behaving as I expect. I am reading and rereading man pages, so maybe
I will get there. But it is tough when you only look at this stuff every
couple of years or so when things suddenly break for no apparent reason.
I bug report partly to help others who are not very familar with
particular packages fix this sort of thing easily.
