    Map REL_DIAL to horizontal scrolling (#73105)

? 
It begs the question if we want this change or not as it changes the behaviour
of a relative dial. Since upstream has settled to mapping this to horizontal
scrolling a long time ago and has restored this since, it is better to fix this
now than later.

In principle I don't mind the patches. However your SR doesn't adhere to our
standards, therefore if we want to bring this into SLE12 we have to do the work
over again.

It would be nice if you do the 2 steps:
1. introduce the unpatched package from SLE12 into openSUSE:42.
2. Add all patches from upstream individually. There are guidelines for the 
  format: 
  https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE%3aPatches_Guidelines_for_X11%3aXOrg_Project
  I've got a script I can give to you to generate them which I can give to you.
  You can of course combine patches in a single changelog entry.
  (The 4th patch should probably be added separately).

If you prepare 1 for me, I'd be happy to help out with 2.
