Fix Released
Bug description:
xserver-xorg-video-all has not depended on these drivers for quite
some time now, meaning that installation images didn't have them
either nor installed them on the system. Now would be the time to drop
them from the archive before next LTS & HWE-18.04 stack and in
preparation for xserver 1.20.
Some rationale in detail for future reference:
input:
-aiptek: no upstream release in 7 years
-elographics: no upstream release in 6 years
-evdev: replaced by -libinput (not entirely, see comment #1)
-keyboard: replaced by -libinput
-mtrack: no upstream release in 3 years, should be replaceable by -libinput
by now
-mouse: replaced by -libinput
-mutouch: no upstream release in 7 years
-void: xserver can start without an input driver these days
-xwiimote: no upstream release in 5 years
video:
-ast: no upstream release in 3 years, no KMS support
-geode: i386 only, no kernel support since moving to i586 (or i686?)
-mach64: no KMS support
-neomagic: no upstream release in 3 years, no KMS support
-r128: no KMS support
-savage: no KMS support
-siliconmotion: no KMS suppport
-sisusb: no KMS support
-tdfx: no KMS support
-trident: no KMS support
Fedora dropped drivers without KMS (kernel modesetting) support five years
ago:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-August/188429.html
one exception to this is -openchrome, which we'll keep since it has
some users and might even get KMS support before next LTS.
