Great.

Indeed, it looked strange to read about input stuff in a bug report
against fbdev…

Hm? How come I still see it on:
  http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=xserver-xorg-video-glamo

Not that I tried installing it, but at least in theory it's available
in squeeze.

Closing this bug report then.

If you feel like it, you could report this issue upstream:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/

Component is xorg, product is Input/evdev. Input changed quite a lot
since squeeze, and is still changing.

Ah, that might explain why -glamo was removed. AFAICT, no reply from
its maintainer to my mail about dependencies (first bullet in
http://blog.ikibiki.org/2011/02/08/DXN-4/). Still held by moderation
apparently…
