xinput needs a new release for some apps

[Sandra Karuving]

the application "synaptiks" in kubuntu will not work with the old version of xinput. we get following error:

Version error
The version of the XInput extension installed on your system is too old. Version 2.0 was found, but at least version 2.0 is required.
If you want to be able to configure your touchpad, you have to upgrade your system to a recent release of the Xorg display server.

This may likely involve a complete upgrade of your system. Please excuse this inconvenience, but there is no way to make touchpad configuration work on systems as old as yours.

so in the name of all net-and notebook users PLEASE upgrade to a newer version.
