For Wayland compositors new unified userspace input handling code has been developed in the form of libinput. libinput fixes a number of shortcomings of the traditional Xorg input drivers, esp. where it comes to touchpad support.

This presentation will discuss the plans to move Xorg to use libinput too through an input driver called xf86-input-libinput, as well as the status of this move. xf86-input-libinput is scheduled to be the default Xorg input driver for Fedora 22.
