Enabling EVDEV in GENERIC kernel will also allow to compile weston - (reference Wayland composer) without re-compiling the kernel. Unfortunately I can not find link now, but few weeks ago I read a report stating that using evdev in FreeBSD cause kernel panic after DIS-connection of some devices.... I also would like to know - is the evdev is the right way for FreeBSD or there is (will be) alternative solution? Regards, Denis.
