Yes. 16:63. I already do have most of that implementation finished,
although non-x86 stuff, like atari mice still have to be done.

Not much, although six people (0rfelyus+tomby no longer @suse,
kimo_sabe@slashdot, lepied@xfree and tigert+mitchell@gimp) said they'll
do a Xinput driver for /dev/input/eventX, but there is no such driver
yet. If nothing happens soon enough, I'll write that myself.

Yes, it's a good name. Let's make it so. Btw, when was that? I didn't
notice it ... Currently it's /dev/input/mouse - attached is a patch.
Randy - please apply it.
