Hi

They are different layers of input stack. This project is a kernel driver for FreeBSD which read data from actual hardware via I2C or USB transport and than streams it to userland with evdev protocol. The libinput is a userland library which reads data provided by the kernel driver and converts it to format convenient to userland application like xorg-server or wayland
