Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2012-04-14 16:38:59 UTC
xsetmode is old, unmaintained and nowadays the same could be achieved using 'xinput set-mode'. Considering that xorg-x11 depends on xinput, we should remove xsetmode from its deps and mask for removal.

Same goes for xsetpointer.

And masked for removal.
