In the process of updating my Xorg components, I came across the so-called "libinput". It appears this library (current release 0.14.1) is needed by the so-called "xf86-input-libinput" driver (current release 0.9.0 - as of this writing; by the time my post is published, there might already be a new release: they are coming at a staggering speed). (As an aside, "libinput" needs "mtdev", a BLFS standard.)
Seems the driver is part of the so-called "Wayland" concept (to my untrained and totally amateurish eye, Wayland is to Xorg-7.7 as kernel 4.0 is to kernel 3.19.5). I installed this cutting-edge software and haven't detected any adverse effects to my existing Xorg functionings so far (my evdev seems to still be in control behind the scenes). Any more coherent and enlightening comments will be highly welcome. a Wayland convert, -- Alex
