by another program and no X events should be generated.

+The config file may have multiple
+.B OutputClass
+sections.
+These sections are optional and are used to provide configuration for a
+class of output devices as they are automatically added.
+An output device can match more than one

+Each class can override settings from a previous class, so it is best to
+arrange the sections with the most generic matches first.
