our current long-term approach is to get support for input devices into the
kernel and then let evdev deal with it automagically*. The times when X needed
a separate driver for each device are gone and the sooner we forget about it,
the happier we'll be.

* doesn't work with all devices yet, but evdev is moving fast and is easy
enough to hack on.
