Aproos input devices:

What's the status of libinput on NetBSD ? (FreeBSD seems to have it).

Could we just write a small libinput implementation for NetBSD ?
Only needs to provide the same API, more precisely the subset used by
the xf86-input-libinput driver - obviously w/o all the udev+evdev stuff
that doesn't work on NetBSD.

I have to admit, never heared of those. Are they really still in
practical use, or can we just ignore them ?

My intention is just at least compile-test as much drivers as possible,
in order to reduce risk of ugly surprises.
