As I already replied to the Fesco meeting Summary mail:

WRT to the 2 caveats:

1) As mentioned in the feature page KDE does not need any changes since
its mouse settings panel does not talk directly to low level Xorg drivers.

2) The GNOME control panel changes are already done in such a matter
that things will keep working with the old xorg-x11-drv-evdev +
xorg-x11-drv-synaptics combo, both for other distrosm, as well as some
users want to do a manual fallback to the old combo.

So I think that no changes are necessary to the wiki page.

Regards,

Hans
