Peter Hutterer f9977dba9c tools/replay: set the multiprocessing start method to fork
Python 3.14 has changed from fork to forkserver[1] which causes
libinput replay to fail with the following error when starting the
subprocesses:
   ValueError: ctypes objects containing pointers cannot be pickled

This is caused by the libevdev device being passed to the sub process.
A more proper fix may be to only initialize the device in the subprocess
and then signal the process to start replaying. But meanwhile, switching
back to fork will do.

Closes #1204

libinput

libinput is a library that provides a full input stack for display servers and other applications that need to handle input devices provided by the kernel.

libinput provides device detection, event handling and abstraction to minimize the amount of custom input code the user of libinput needs to provide the common set of functionality that users expect. Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating relative pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.

User documentation

Documentation explaining features available in libinput is available here.

This includes the FAQ and the instructions on reporting bugs.
