Actually, that would be on Fedora, since this is the patch I use on Solaris 
systems without xmlto or asciidoc to build the tarballs Peter produces and
publishes.

If you download http://www.x.org/releases/individual/lib/libXi-1.4.3.tar.bz2
you'll see in it, libXi-1.4.3/man/XFreeDeviceList.man has:

.so XListInputDevices.libmansuffix

Perhaps we need to get Peter building with a fixed version of asciidoc then?
