FAQ/Linux: Reword libinput smoothing fix section
OpenTabletDriver v0.6.5.0 now ships with the libinput smoothing disabled in packaging. This commit adds details for how to check whether this is applied correctly, but also keeps pre-v0.6.5.0 instructions intact for users still on that version.

Using Artist Mode will result in some minor smoothing due to libinput's tablet handling.
132+
If you are using a release version of OpenTabletDriver v0.6.4.0 or older, this
133+
is expected, and a workaround exists.

To disable this smoothing, add the contents below to `/etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks`:
135+
On newer versions, this is fixed in new packaging - please report a bug to your
136+
packager if the quirks file is not included with your OpenTabletDriver package.

### With OpenTabletDriver Version 0.6.5.0 or newer
139+
140+
Smoothing on the virtual tablet provided by OpenTabletDriver should already be
141+
disabled via packaging. You can verify that the attribute is set with the
142+
`liblinput quirks list <path>` command.
143+
144+
Figuring out the path is left as an exercise for the reader, but it is
145+
typically one of the **newest** (not necessarily highest numbered) `event##`
146+
device in `/dev/input/`.
147+

### With OpenTabletDriver Version 0.6.4.0 or earlier (and `master`/0.7 branch builds)
149+
150+
With OpenTabletDriver v0.6.4.0 and earlier (and v0.7 builds), using Artist Mode
151+
will result in some minor smoothing due to libinput's tablet handling, for
152+
which the quirk is not officially included in packaging.
153+

To disable this smoothing manually, add the contents below to `/etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks`:
