Switch man pages to asciidoc.
The docbook xml is unreadable and unwritable. Switch everything to asciidoc, at least thay we we can write man pages without losing sanity. asciidoc seems to have some issues with __libmansuffix__, so instead we just use libmansuffix (without underscores). The current asciidoc version is buggy for multiple man targets (more than one man page in a single file), so stick a big warning into configure that a patch is required to the the right asciidoc->docbook conversion. Many thanks to Dan Nicholson for the Makefile.am. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

+XSETDEVICEMODE(libmansuffix)
+============================
+
+NAME
+----
+
+ XSetDeviceMode - change the mode of a device
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+ #include <X11/extensions/XInput.h>
+
+ XSetDeviceMode( Display *display,
+ XDevice *device,
+ int mode);
+
+ display
+ Specifies the connection to the X server.
+
+ device
+ Specifies the device whose mode is to be changed.
+
+ mode
+ Specifies the mode.You can pass Absolute,or Relative.
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+ The XSetDeviceMode request changes the mode of an input device
+ that is capable of reporting either absolute positional
+ information or relative motion information. Not all input
+ devices are capable of reporting motion data, and not all are
+ capable of changing modes from Absolute to Relative.
+
+ XSetDeviceMode can generate a BadDevice or BadMode error.
+
+DIAGNOSTICS
+-----------
+
+ BadDevice
+ An invalid device was specified. The specified device
+ does not exist or has not been opened by this client via
+ XOpenInputDevice. This error may also occur if some
+ other client has caused the specified device to become
+ the X keyboard or X pointer device via the
+ XChangeKeyboardDevice or XChangePointerDevice requests.
+
+ BadMatch
+ This error may occur if an XSetDeviceMode request is
+ made specifying a device that has no valuators and
+ reports no axes of motion.
+
+ BadMode
+ An invalid mode was specified. This error will also be
+ returned if the specified device is not capable of
+ supporting the XSetDeviceMode request.
