Bug 216272: x11-drivers/xf86-input-fpit: update for compatibility with modern X
server
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216272



--- Description ---
Created attachment 179085
  --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=179085&action=edit
update x11-drivers/xf86-input-fpit

All the input drivers other than keyboard, mouse, joystick, synaptics, evdev,
and libinput are unmaintained upstream. I have collected any git commits past
the last release and added patches as necessary to build error-free with a
modern Xorg server (tested with 1.18.4 and 1.19.1), but I do not have this
ancient input hardware so cannot run test. While this is only build tested,
it's still an improvement as these have seen little or no attention in years.
If anyone uses this hardware, please report on the state of this driver,
otherwise it will be assumed to be unused and no further maintenance efforts
will be extended.
