don't set a model when using evdev (778 bytes, patch)

Description Sebastien Bacher 2008-08-13 21:26:37 UTC 
the issue has been described on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/255008

the fedora gnome-settings-daemon package has a patch which unset the model when evdev is used, not sure if that's correct or a workaround and xorg should be changed but ubuntu is going to use it too so it could make sense to have this upstream so other distros don't run into the same issue

After discussion with Daniel Stone, we're creating separate ruleset for evdev driver. It will be fixed in xk-c and xorg code. So, NOTGNOME actually
