   It's a security hole.  It's a difficult corner case to
solve in the driver and therefore is frequently broken.
And most uses of DGA I've seen are misuses which do not use
DGA in the manner that it was intended.

   We need to fix the Xinput extension to report relative
motion though, and soon, so people can get used to using
it.  I don't want to see Doom III using DGA mouse support.
