The property support isn't ideal, the server relies on the driver to check first if a setting is possible, applying the setting itself cannot fail. Thus we can't just check the libinput config status code, which matters mostly in the sendevents property where we simply check that only a single bit is set and that the supported modes are equal or more to the requested mode.

xf86-input-libinput - a libinput-based X driver
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. It has no configuration options at the moment.
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.
