I'll volunteer to help, especially to see if a newer xf86-input-evdev  
(or updated X) fixes the xf86-input-evdev 2.1.3 crash I get on the one  
box I tried it on. I also need to figure out how to have my synaptic  
touchpad work with the new evdev/hal/dbus (just a fdi/policy file, I  
think, but this should be automagically added by the driver, IMO ;)).

This weekend won't be good for testing for me, but the week might have  
more time.
