Hi

I am making good progress, but I am currently stuck at compiling the patched
xorg-server. The 500_xi2.1.patch highers the required version of inputproto
to 2.0.99.1. But I do'nt find anything about this version.
What I already did with inputproto was, that I applied the changes from
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/x11proto-input/2.0.1-1ubuntu1.

Any tipps?

Thanks
Andreas
