Hi, Frederic Lepied, original author and debian maintainer of xinput, seems MIA for a few years. Upstream maintenance has been taken over recently at x.org (after attempts to contact Frederic failed), and a new release is available. I intend to hijack this package soon, and upload the new version which adds compatibility with xorg-server 1.4. Frederic, if you're reading this and object to the hijack, please speak up. Cheers, Julien
