Yes this is current, and I'm on commit 360355.  Yes I do have it
installed.  And yes I am on X.

The situation I was in this morning after installing the new kernel was
things that previously worked no longer worked so I did the shortest
path I could find to get them working, which was modifying this evdev.

Is there a document on how one is supposed to configure their system in
X?  I have never used xinput, instead I have configured my trackpad
through sysctl.  I'm happy to do it the way that is considered correct
but I've sort of pieced together how to get my system setup.
