+A generic input driver for the X.Org X11 X server based on libinput,
+supporting all devices.
+Serves as a wrapper needed by libinput to communicate with X.Org.
+
+Note that to have libinput properly operating on a Slackware 14.2
+system, you also need this wrapper.
+
+The package automatically places a default configuration file in
+/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-libinput.conf
+To make sure that the driver takes precedence over any other drivers
+that try to control your input devices, make sure that the number of
+the above file is the highest of all the numbers in the same directory.
+If you want to customize the default parameters of the driver,
+modify the above file. Do not modify the system file in
+/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-libinput.conf
+
+WARNING: Misconfiguration of an X input driver may leave you without
+usable input devices in your X session.
+To fix the problem, boot to init level 3 (terminal, without starting X)
+and make the appropriate fixes.
