Mesa has been supporting S3TC natively without requiring these libraries
since the S3TC patent expired in December 2017.
Due to the support of the systemd-logind API the udev rules aren't
required anymore which renders this module useless [0].
Note: brightnessctl should now require a working D-Bus setup and a valid
local logind session for this to work.

As of 2020-01-09, way-cooler is officially dead:
http://way-cooler.org/blog/2020/01/09/way-cooler-post-mortem.html
hence, remove the package and the module.

This fixes a harmless error from systemd-udevd that looks like:
Dec 23 15:35:23 dellbook systemd-udevd[696]:
/nix/store/iixya3ni5whybpq9zz1h7f4pyw7nhd19-udev-rules/99-local.rules:25
Invalid value "..." for RUN (char 101: invalid substitution type),
ignoring, but please fix it.
Using $$ fixes it using the escaping documented at https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/udev.html.
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
The SLIM project is abandoned and their last release was in 2013.
Because of this it poses a security risk to systems, no one is working
on it or picked up maintenance. It also lacks compatibility with systemd
and logind sessions. For users, there liikely isn't anything like slim
that's as lightweight in terms of dependencies.
Invoke xrandr to actually connect the device.
Additionally, we let systemd create the logs directory and use our module loader
instead of handling it manually.
uinput needs to be added to boot.kernelModules in order for the udev
rules defined by steam to be run and set permissions correctly on
/dev/uinput.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/70471.
Add support for custom device-tree files, and applying overlays to them.
This is useful for supporting non-discoverable hardware, such as sensors
attached to GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi.
