Peter, Is the long term plan for libevdev to become an additional dependencies for the X.Org project? That is not a precedent, we already have mesa, pixman and xkeyboard-config as non-xorg dependencies we build. I can add it to build.sh. If in a few years it become ubiquitous, it can be removed. I can also update the above wiki page as well. There is a similar issue with libmtdev, so I might document this one as well. It seems to be more available on distros. All, <div align="center">README excerpt </div> <blockquote> <pre><code>libevdev is a wrapper library for evdev devices. it moves the common tasks when dealing with evdev devices into a library and provides a library interface to the callers, thus avoiding erroneous ioctls, etc. git://git.freedesktop.org/git/libevdev <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libevdev/">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libevdev/</a> **libevdev is currently in early stages of development.
