What I meant with "this is not a wayland touchpad driver" is simply that 
I haven't done the work to hook it up to weston or something else. I 
just did the work to decouple the driver from X. Poor choice of words, 
sorry, I was trying to preempt the misleading headlines on the usual 
sites. Input drivers don't render, so the driver doesn't care if you use 
a drm backend or printf.
