I'd appreciate if the need of a kernel with CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV enabled is
put more clearly in the xserver-xorg NEWS file. This has been driving me
crazy for a couple of days. I was looking at the xserver-xorg bugs, but
unfortunately missed this one (my fault) and only noticed it after looking
at the debian-x list.
