Another solution is to disable these newish input shenanigans and
just use good ol' xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse drivers,
works like a charm for me (and no dances with kern.evdev.rcpt_mask
required).  However, it could be useful to see if this new X.org
input model would fix the regressions in Quake2 movement* I have
reported back in 2017 and which were still unfixed last time I've
tried to play the game.
