+D-BUS Configuration API v2
+----------------------------
+
+The X server will register the bus name org.x.config.displayN, and the
+object /org/x/config/N, where N is the display number.
+
+Currently only hotplugging of input devices is supported.
+
+org.x.config.input:
+ org.x.config.input.version:
+ Returns one unsigned int32, which is the API version.
+
+ org.x.config.input.add:
+ Takes an argument of key/value option pairs in arrays, e.g.:
+ [ss][ss][ss][ss]
+ is the signature for four options. These options will be passed
+ to the input driver as with any others.
+ Option names beginning with _ are not allowed; they are reserved
+ for internal use.
+
+ Returns a number of signed int32s. Positive integers are the
+ device IDs of new devices; negative numbers are X error codes,
+ as defined in X.h. BadMatch will be returned if the options
+ given do not match any device. BadValue is returned for a malformed
+ message. (Example: 8 is new device ID 8; -8 is BadMatch.)
+
+ Notably, BadAlloc is never returned: the server internally signals
+ to D-BUS that the attempt failed for lack of memory.
+
+ org.x.config.input.remove:
+ Takes one uint32 argument, which is the device ID to remove, i.e.:
+ u
+ is the signature.
+
+ Returns one signed int32 which represents an X status as defined in
+ X.h. See org.x.config.input.add. Error codes are negative numbers.
+
+ org.x.config.input.listDevices:
+ Lists the currently active devices. No argument.
+ Return value is sequence of [<id> <name>] [<id> <name>] ..., i.e. [us].
