At the moment, 'XInput details' means, 'doesn't work with extended
events', which is certainly an issue.  I'm not sure how much time I'll
have over the next couple of weeks (meant to be going on holiday,
linux.conf.au paper review, the rest of 7.3 stuff), but I can definitely
promise to review (and help with, if necessary) any patches.

Cheers,
Daniel
