Simply put what are some other input subsystems?P.S. (a little context)Is there a popular alternative? (I'm looking at an HP-UX and have no idea how its taking care of this, because there is no /dev/input/event*) andbased on the wiki Evdev is closely related input driver for the X.Org Server - can evdev exist without X.Org?
input, evdev alternatives?
xorg;input;input method
There is a whole bunch of input drivers for X.Org http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/ (look for 'xf86-input-'). Ones that are typically used is xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse. Multiplexing of many devices can be done either by some kernel-side things (like FreeBSD's moused+sysmouse and kbdmux) or by attaching all input devices to X.Org and managing them with XInput.
