Input device design (3)

[Jim Gettys]

X is not the only client of input devices: sometimes games want to be in
control, sometimes other stand alone applications.  Second guessing what
people want/need to do with all sorts of input devices isn't a good
strategy. 

So getting the plumbing decisions out of the X server is the intent.
Some systems lack hot plug entirely; they can use a static configuration
system, but let's make it external to the X server this time.
