Both drivers are essentially unmaintained. IIRC there's not much difference
beteween the two but you'd have to check out the code to be sure. Most of
the old input drivers are pretty much identical except for a few parsing
functions.

These days, we generally recommend using a kernel driver and then hooking
evdev up to the device instead of having a custom X driver. That's under
linux anyway, on other platforms you'll have to use the special X drivers.
