Hi, I've done some initial porting of libevdev and libinput that may be of help: https://github.com/jiixyj/libevdev https://github.com/jiixyj/libinput I've also written a simple evdev implementation in userspace (no keyboard support yet, though): https://github.com/jiixyj/evdevfbsd I've got it to expose my Thinkpad trackpoint/touchpad as devices /dev/input/event1 and /dev/input/event0, respectively. In X11, xf86-input-evdev and xf86-input-synaptics (with evdev backend) successfully pick them up. Only small tweaks are needed: https://github.com/jiixyj/xf86-input-evdev https://github.com/jiixyj/xf86-input-synaptics Also you need something like this in xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "evdev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0" EndSection xf86-input-libinput should also work, but I barely tested that. Sorry for not posting about this earlier, but this is still very much experimental and probably won't even work for anyone except me right now… Still, it might be a good starting point for some "serious" porting work. I'll try to polish it up a bit and write some documentation. Cheers, Jan
