I also had libhybris installed, and removing it fixed xmir. No "somehow"
about it though, I had to install that manually back when I was doing
packaging work on a bunch of ubuntu touch stuff that depended on it at the
time.

So, first impressions: kb input is slightly laggy but only sometimes, VT
switching is *so* smooth! But I can confirm that known bug about the kb
input going to both Xmir and the vt. Funny how the reverse isn't true;
typing in XMir doesn't make the output show up in the vt.

Also, my caps/ctrl keys have gone crazy! Normally, I have caps mapped to
ctrl, and ctrl is normal (so I have two ctrl keys on the left side). Then
today before I got xmir working, it started to be that caps is ctrl but
ctrl is caps, and now after booting into xmir it's gone even more weird,
where both l_ctrl and caps act as caps! So now r_ctrl is my only ctrl key!
Makes keyboard shortcuts quite difficult to use!
