libinput can't run at SIGIO time, so it has been using
AddEnabledDevice to run in non-signal context.
Threaded input runs all input in non-signal context, so we want to use
xf86AddEnabledDevice at last.
v2: use XINPUT ABI version check instead of testing for presence of
AddEnabledDevice, which can't get removed from the server until
a few more patches past the threaded input change are merged.
v3: remove reference to XI86_SIGNAL_IO, which was presumably
a planned change to the xf86AddEnabledDevice path to make that
not use SIGIO.

xf86-input-libinput - a libinput-based X driver
The official repository for this driver is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-libinput/
This is an X driver based on libinput. 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: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libinput/
To build the X server from source: http://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. Use with caution.
