|

<para>
|
|
Although libinput works with the same kernel configuration used by <xref
|
|
linkend="libevdev"/>, its extensive testsuite requires the presence of
|
|
<filename>/dev/uinput</filename> (as well as both <xref linkend="valgrind"/>
|
|
and <ulink url="http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/">libunwind</ulink>).
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If you wish to run the full tests, enable the following option in the kernel
|
|
configuration and recompile the kernel if necessary:

<para>

If you build this as a module, it needs to be inserted before the testsuite
|
|
runs.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
On an Xorg system you will also need to prevent the events generated
|
|
during the testsuite from interfering with your desktop. Copy the
|
|
file <filename>test/50-litest.conf</filename> into
|
|
<filename class="directory">${XORG_PREFIX}/share/X11/xorg.conf.d</filename>
|
|
and restart X. For further information see
