I don't know if our kernel guys will be doing that (it would have to be
a reimplementation instead of a port of the kernel driver due to the
license issues). When I discussed porting the xf86-input-evdev to
work with the existing Solaris input interfaces, the people who know
that driver suggested it probably wasn't a good idea, so I'll probably
end up stealing code from the xf86-input-evdev module to add new Xi
features like input properties to xf86-input-kbd and xf86-input-mouse
at some point (though if someone else is interested enough to beat
me to it, please go ahead! My to-do list is always far longer than
I can ever get to.)
