I'll have to edit the wiki. The statement was probably correct when |
| 10 |
originally posted, but recent builds of xf86-input-evdev require |
| 11 |
>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.10 built with the udev flag. *SOME* xorg input |
| 12 |
device drivers require xf86-input-evdev and therefore udev. I'm running |
| 13 |
a few machines fine without evdev/udev, and xorg.conf for that matter, |
| 14 |
under ICEWM. xf86-input-evdev may also be required by fancy "desktop |
| 15 |
environments". Window managers like blackbox, fluxbox, FVWM, ICEWM, etc |
| 16 |
can be dressed up to look rather fancy, and use a lot less resources |
| 17 |
than GNOME/KDE/UNITY. |
