I'm not sure I'm following exactly, but the options do get merged back
into idev->commonOptions. If you mean it should be done in the config
backend and passed through NIDR, I don't think I can do that here
since I'm relying on using xorg.conf. That could only happen the the
xfree86 ddx. Right now the only DDX-independent config store is HAL,
and this is an effort to move away from it.

Can you clarify?
