Today, I invoked the Pan newsreader.  It would not fucking scroll with
the mouse wheel.  What the friggin' fuck?
 
Also, some other GUI programs would not scroll.
 
I've had this problem before, and, sure enough, it was libinput,
a product of GNOME/Freedesktop that was the fault.
 
Once again, those incompetent assholes changed their device numbers:
 
xinput list-props 8 ...
         libinput Send Events Modes Available (270):     1, 0 libinput
         Send Events Mode Enabled (271):        0, 0 libinput Send
         Events Mode Enabled Default (272):        0, 0
...
 
They changed the "Send Events Mode Enabled" from 269 to 271.
 
What the fuck for?  Only those incompetent assholes will know.
 
In my X/FVWM3 boot I have to change it to:
 
xinput --set-prop 8 271 1 0

Yer an idiot.

"Gee, how can we guard against the enums changing?"

$ cat game_kbd.sh
#!/bin/bash

xinput set-prop 'ASUF1204:00 2808:0104 Touchpad' \
'libinput Disable While Typing Enabled' 0
exit $?

Like that, dipwit.
