These don't change, iirc they exist because of some unixes having different man pages but at this point really on Solaris is left and that uses the same suffixes as everyone else. And the __xservername__ is a leftover from the Xfree86 vs Xorg days - if you're still running Xfree86, you're not using this driver. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>
xf86-input-libinput - a libinput-based X driver
The official repository for this driver is https://gitlab.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: 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. Use with caution.
