I don't know where the mails about that are. Definitely not in my mailbox.

I tried to patch the X server to check the skip flag on input driver
also and it works as expected in the usual cases.

I did not get to testing it on a ACPI-free platform yet.

The patches do not apply to X server master probably because of the reindent.

Adding to struct should not cause an ABI break so should be safe to apply.

Thanks
