It is a thin wrapper around libinput, +so while it does provide all features that libinput supports it does little +beyond. + +***WARNING: misconfiguration of an X input driver may leave you without +usable input devices in your X session. Use with caution.*** + + +Prerequisites +------------- + +To build, you'll need the X.Org X server SDK (check your distribution for a +xorg-x11-server-devel package or similar) and libinput (check your +distribution for libinput-devel or similar). + +To get libinput from source, see: +https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libinput/ + +To build the X server from source: +https://www.x.org/wiki/Building_the_X_Window_System/ + +Building +-------- + +To build this driver: + + autoreconf -vif + ./configure --prefix=$HOME/build + make && make install + +Note that this assumes the same prefix as used in "Building the X Window +System" above, adjust as required. If you want a system install, use a +prefix of */usr*. + +Install the default configuration file: + + cp conf/99-libinput.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ + +This will assign this driver to *all* devices.
