It doesn't use the return value of ioctl(EVIOCGRAB) in eventcomm.c,
other than giving an error message. It just takes the first device that
looks like a touchpad and wants to use it. Because inputd grabs all
input devices and creates virtual ones using uinput, that approach
fails. Synaptics should look for the first ungrabbed touchpad like
device, or allow the user to filter out certain names (in case of
inputd, that filter could be '^\[inputd\] ').
