A bunch of these work items probably belong in a dependency blueprint - Mir On The Desktop
Note "Synaptics" is a brand. And most touchpads supported by the X "synaptics" driver are not made by Synaptics. So it's probably a good idea to name libsynaptics as libtouchsomethi
Note, work around SDL has identified another need that will be covered under the rework around the Mir input stack.
That is to include pointer warping and motion events.

SDL's input requirements will be satisfied with a Viewport flag on a MirSurface - triggering pointer confinement (when focused) and relative motion event delivery - and a WarpPointer API that takes the pointer to a specified point on an application's (focused) surface.
A later addition to the Viewport flag will be opt-in keyboard-
