Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org 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. At first glance, this looks like a visible regression. Is there a version of input-utils that works with both old and new kernels ? Thanks
