  Can you post a git url for dummies? :-) Otherwise I can wait until
tomorrow if it will go to xorg/apps.

  I have basically nil knowledge about the internals of xinput, but
I have interest on knowing it is working, so I want at least to
see what is being worked on :-)

  I left Conectiva before the merge with Mandrake, and came back a few
month ago, I can at least try to check if someone knows if he is still
on earth...
