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: From dbe48c8044987da6e64036fa3f36d7b2826994d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2011 22:06:10 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Do not require exact version of EVDEV protocol, we can work with other versions too.

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