Bug Description
xserver-
Some rationale in detail for future reference:
input:
-aiptek: no upstream release in 7 years
-elographics: no upstream release in 6 years
-evdev: replaced by -libinput (not entirely, see comment #1)
-keyboard: replaced by -libinput
-mtrack: no upstream release in 3 years, should be replaceable by -libinput by now
-mouse: replaced by -libinput
-mutouch: no upstream release in 7 years
-void: xserver can start without an input driver these days
-xwiimote: no upstream release in 5 years
video:
-ast: no upstream release in 3 years, no KMS support
-geode: i386 only, no kernel support since moving to i586 (or i686?)
-mach64: no KMS support
-neomagic: no upstream release in 3 years, no KMS support
-r128: no KMS support
-savage: no KMS support
-siliconmotion: no KMS suppport
-sisusb: no KMS support
-tdfx: no KMS support
-trident: no KMS support
Fedora dropped drivers without KMS (kernel modesetting) support five years ago:
https:/
one exception to this is -openchrome, which we'll keep since it has some users and might even get KMS support before next LTS.

apparently -evdev has some use still:
11:10 < whot> evdev handles some devices that libinput ignores, mostly the generic button boxes and weird devices
