[Note: previously sent to debian-backpo...@lists.debian.org] Hi,
In a effort to use the ThinkPad X240 touchpad in wheezy, I backported libevdev and xserver-xorg-input-synaptics from testing/unstable for my personnal use. The packages seem to integrate flawlessly in Wheezy's Xorg so I'd like to make my work available for other users through wheezy-backports. The packages are available at mentors.debian.net: https://mentors.debian.net/package/libevdev https://mentors.debian.net/package/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics The ThinkPad X240 (and other laptops using the same touchpad model) is failry new but judging by the various forum posts troughout the Web, an updated Synaptics driver seems much needed to make easier use of these new touchpads, namely support for the "SecondarySoftButtonAreas" option (see [1] for more information). These packages are built following the guidelines on Debian Wiki (https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingFormalBackports), inside a pbuilder chroot. libevdev is missing in wheezy, but builds correctly without any change; xserver-xorg-input-synaptics needs libevdev to build, again without any change. I'm willing to maintain the backports for the lifetime of Wheezy if needed.
