I wanted to try the branch, but xinput fails to build for me.
make[2]: Entering directory
`/tmp/nix-build-w5ql4i5kkggih7smn9sl1jn8vlwmgzag-xinput-1.6.0.drv-0/xinput-1.6.0/src'
.....
/nix/store/d2lkqk3iz3vk5p9dsiw9qw2gy6g7vxrm-libXrandr-1.4.0/include/X11/extensions/Xrandr.h:33:36:

....

Is everyone experiencing this? Because I understood that x-updates works for
most people.

Regards,
Lluís.
