Consider droping evdev input handling backends

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • Linux/Other display system

    Description

      libinput is a layer above evdev, all platforms that relied on evdev should be able to rely on libinput too. libinput appears to support BSD too, according to the following commit in libinput repo:

      commit 61f3e3854458c556a01fb05d7abb22733fd2b7c1

    Add input.h for FreeBSD

      We should consider dropping evdev and perhaps 'tslib' too, if it does not provide anything what can't be done with libinput on dependent platforms.

      This would reduce the maintenance burden.
