README: Remove no longer relevant section
All tests now use inputtest which does not affect the input devices seen by any already running servers.

-=== Avoiding interference with your running server ===
-Many of the tests will create uinput devices that, usually, will also be picked
-up as devices in your current X session. This will result in pointer movement,
-random clicks, etc. in your current session. This is not a fault of the tests.
-
-To avoid this interference the current X server must be configured to either
-ignore input device hotplugging altogether (Option AutoAddDevices off, see
-xorg.conf(5)) or, a smaller sledgehammer, be configured to ignore virtual
-devices. The udev rule below applies a tag to every virtual device. An
-xorg.conf snippet (below) matches against this tag and tells the server to
-ignore those. Restart the X server to let the changes take effect.
-
-BEWARE: adding this xorg.conf snippet will disable _all_ virtual input
-devices in your current X session.
-
-$> cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-tag-virtual-devices.rules
-# tag all virtual devices as virtual devices, so an xorg.conf snippet can be
-# set up to ignore those.
