I searched around a bit. Did I get it right, that mpx changed the entire input part of X and therefor XEvIE didn't work anymore and was removed. mpx does not provide anything like input redirection, so bringing back XEvIE based on the new input logic mpx brings would not result in implementing the same feature twice, right? If this is the case I will try to bring XEvIE back.
