Please accept this patch. Having my mouse buttons switch when I upgraded
to Trusty was an unwelcome surprise and cost me productivity until I
found the workaround. There must be others like me. I'm sure the person
who added this "quirk" for this mouse had good intentions, but they
should not have overridden the manufacturer recommendation and caused
needless change for users, and their change should be undone.

Title:
  Unneeded quirk for "Evoluent VerticalMouse 3" in
  /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-quirks.conf

Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With the version of xserver-xorg-core in Trusty, the file
  /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-quirks.conf includes "quirks" for the
  Evoluent Mouse that go against what users were used to, what is
  recommended by the manufacturer and what is configured in other
  Operating Systems.

  The change has already been reverted in Fedora:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612140

  And has also been reported in Debian:
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=739537

  Please remove the Evoluent stanza from the file.  This is a regression
  in the previous and expected behavior, and as such, the fix should be
  backported to Trusty.

  Thanks!
