xinput: Do I want xorg.conf? Do I want hal? Do I want udev?

[Corbin Simpson]

And thus marks the last time I attempt to be sassy on my Droid.

But as I was saying, the Generic Userspace Configuration Kit. If we're
going to add a Session Hotplug Infrastructure Tasklet, which is
desktop-agnostic, in order to configure the X server across multiple
platforms, you're going to need a Generic Userspace Configuration Kit
to talk to the kernel, since that's where the devices live.

Being desktop-aware has a lot of benefits, mostly in the realm of
policy control and convenience, and letting the DE configure things is
not as bad as, say, having GNOME-specific code in the server.
