Does the existing released evdev driver work with the new server if recompiled? If not, we must release the evdev driver before the server (and ensure that it works across server versions). If it does work, then we should stick the xorg.conf fragments in the X server as the evdev driver would otherwise need to be released before or at the same time as the X server. We don't get to ship an X server that depends on unreleased input drivers. > Peter has an updated patch for evdev.

As far as I'm concerned, it either needs to go in the X server, or someone needs to release the input drivers that need an xorg.conf fragment. And people wonder why I want to merge the drivers back into the server... -- [email protected]
