[arch-general] xf86-input drivers in xorg group
Is anyone still using xf86-input-mouse or xf86-input-keyboard driver? These packages are member of xorg group in repos but http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-mouse/tree/README says: "This driver is mainly used on non-Linux operating systems such as BSD & Solaris, as modern Linux systems use the xf86-input-evdev driver instead."

I still do, I haven't moved to the automagically detected input drivers yet, and I don't really feel the need yet. I actually set: Section "ServerFlags" Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False" EndSection Well, this is just me probably... I really hope the drivers don't disappear, :-) -- Javier.
