The unpacked 0.2.2 sources have no mention of UINPUT. Also, my kernel does not have UINPUT enabled yet ThinkFinger works perfectly. You may have seen UINPUT conversions happening to ThinkFinger *in SVN* upstream, but that is completely irrelevant to the ebuild in portage until a release is made with that code.
Note that an if-statement in the global scope is not allowed. I'm sorry, but this bug is not valid at all, as far as 0.2.2 is concerned.
