PS/2 mice and AT keyboards most definetily do work with the event
interface, at least since 2.5.73 (the first 2.5 kernel I tested[1]).
They do not work in current 2.4, where the event interface is for USB
peripherals only.

It's not in stock 2.4 yet.

Can that happen in dix, or should it be below?
(Additionally, a large jump in time, say more than a second, should be
treated as a barrier so as to deal with the clock being stepped. That
would make one of the hacks in our hw layer go away.)

[1] It did work, but froze when compiling XFree86. 2.6.0-test4
works but the disk scheduler is disappointing, at least on my
hardware.
