For those of you with Microsoft Digital Media Keyboards the attached
udev rules should quirk Xorg to ignore the problematic extra
joystick/mouse device.  It should be copied into /etc/udev/rules.d, and
will require a restart before it will apply.

Note that I haven't been able to test this locally; it's possible that
I've made a mistake, and it'll prevent X from detecting your keyboard at
all - in that case you'll need to reboot into recovery mode and delete
the /etc/udev/rules.d/99-quirk-microsoft-crazy-keyboard.rules file.

This might also disable some of your extra function keys, but I'm not
sure.

I would be interested in the experiences of people with this keyboard
when using this quirk.
