Due to an influx of spam, we have had to impose restrictions on new accounts. Please see this wiki page for instructions on how to get full permissions. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Our infrastructure migration is complete. Please remember to update your SSH remote to point to ssh.gitlab.freedesktop.org; SSH to the old hostname will time out. You should not see any problems apart from that. Please let us know if you do have any other issues.
Input device init is pretty straightforward and looks quite similar between DDXes. It's basically optionally figure out your input devices from configuration, mieqInit, call all the constructors, then finalize. There's some minor divergence from that pattern, but nothing insurmountable.
The idea then is to haul InitInput up to DIX and define API for a server to add configured devices.
