X compiled for evdev?

[Brad M. <bmi...@tu...>]

I see a note in linux/Documentation/input/input.txt about using X with 
the current input stuff for getting multihead. Has anyone built X with 
evdev support or is it standard via XFConfig manipulation?

either way I'd like to document this.

what about order detection? if two usb keyboards are attached, aren't 
they essentially randomly ordered? a long time ago i wrote an app for 
sorting this out via "press the 1 key" and "press the 2 key" etc on each 
head. do we have to do something like that?

=================================
3.2.4 evdev.o
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    evdev is the generic input event interface. It passes the events
generated in the kernel straight to the program, with timestamps. The
API is still evolving, but should be useable now. It's described in
section 5.

    This should be the way for GPM and X to get keyboard and mouse mouse
events. It allows for multihead in X without any specific multihead
kernel support. The event codes are the same on all architectures and
are hardware independent.
