Another really good reason to think about bringing back the older
Protocol:evdev option required for full use of the input device until
there's some further maturing of evdev upstream. There's no available
evdev options for XKB support or mouse options, plus the system lockup
bugs when it's not configured right (debian # 347681). This all suggests
some pretty significant changes to evdev upstream in the near future,
and a shakedown period for the newer changes, let alone the existing
bugs.
