   CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_[XY] in the kernel configuration are the size
 of your screen (in pixels) in XFree86. This is needed if you want to use
 your digitizer in X, because it's movement is sent to X via a virtual PS/2

   Mousedev.c will generate either PS/2, ImPS/2 (microsoft intellimouse) or
 GenPS/2 (genius netmouse/netscroll) protocols, depending on what the program
