6 I don't have evdev at all. My /etc/portage/make.conf has...

8 INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"

16 Nothing recent. I have a Logitech ball-mouse. The most recent change
17 I remember is that you may need to set "HID" support. In my desktop's
18 .config, I have...
19
20 Device Drivers --->
21 [*] HID Devices --->
22 -*- Generic HID support
23 [*] /dev/hidraw raw HID device support
24 <*> USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
25 [*] PID device support
26 [*] /dev/hiddev raw HID device support
27 Special HID drivers --->
28
29 And under "Special HID drivers --->" I have
30 -*- Logitech devices
31 <M> Logitech Unifying receivers full support
32 [*] Logitech force feedback support
33 [*] Logitech wheels configuration and force feedback support
34
35 The last 2 items with "force feedback" may be redundant, but I left
36 them in there since they don't seem to hurt.
