udev appears to work for me at least now, with nothing other than
the trivial udev config file that Peter posted as a patch to the evdev
driver.

And, given that most distros will be shipping with udev turned on, it
seems only sensible to have that be the default for 1.8 as well.

I think what I want at this point is a patch to the X server that
installs suitable udev config files as needed; having it be a part of
the evdev driver leaves users in the fine position of installing a new X
server and having things break, so it seems sensible to have the needed
config file land in the module which actually requires it to work.

Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-evdev.conf file:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev-catchall"
        Driver "evdev"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
EndSection

I heard a couple of people suggesting that this be renamed to a higher
number so that you could get files read before it. Let's try to get this
resolved today or tomorrow; we're supposed to ship this thing in a
couple of days.
