Once you have you computer configured with all the devices connected
it is then a trial and error method to find the correct aux_type for your
configuration. The GS I have beside me here has an aux_type of 0103 but
the machine I have at home requires a different one to make only one 
icon show up. The last digit is the one that needs to changed, in this 
case I had to change it to 3. I have a disk with with all sixteen posible
combinations on it and I just keep copying the driver and rebooting 
until I get the right amount of icons. Sometimes you will have two, 
other times none. When you get just one, use that driver.
