Well, as I was one of the one who offered to write an XFree86 input driver
for the event interface I finnally got it working.  Right now it's only
working for my mouse.  I havn't even started building the keycode to KeySym
mapping table to get keyboards to work.  But, as there seemed to be some
interest in this driver, I'm announcing it in this state.
  As I said, I've only tested it with my Logitech wheel mouse.  I hard coded
the "ZAxisMapping" wheel handling in, as it seems that nothing really pays
any attention to the ZAxis, just buttons 4 and 5.  I'll probably map any
other buttons around the "scroll wheel" buttons.
  I'm posting my XFree86 4 driver at
 http://www.u.arizona.edu/~nlopez/evdev.tar.gz
  Extract the tarball into xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/input/ and add
 #define XInputDrivers evdev
  to add the driver to your X4 tree. I think that's all that needs to be
done.  After you recompile X with the driver it is just an input driver,
just like mouse.  You just give it an identifier and device and attach it to
your server layout.
  Details:
    It's very rough
    It works for me, as long as I stay away from the Gnome Control Center's
mouse applet(Will debug when I get another system up to watch gdb from.)
    It's made for XFree86 version 4a(current) so don't even both with 3.3
    It will get better :)
    It's 7:45, so I'm probably forgetting something.

    g'night
