As of the 2.6.36 kernel, the userspace commands lsinput and input-kbd
no longer work.  And if I grab newer/patched versions of those from the latest
Ubuntu 10.10, then those newer/patched versions do not work with kernels
*before* 2.6.36.
I planned on taking another look at this before we release Ubuntu 11.04
at the end of April. That doesn't prevent someone else from helping out
:), but I'll make sure the utility is working again if not.
Here you go:

 other versions too.

Yeah that's the easy part :). I need to find time to go through the
packaging and bug handling churn...

Thanks,
