Anyone have insight into what evdev is?
evdev.ko is a small in-kernel library that makes all your input events
like keyboard presses libinput-compatible.
And libinput was created by the Freedesktop Wayland team to create
pressure on OS people to make their systems Wayland-compatible.
I do not need nor what these modules loaded.
I think removing "option EVDEV_SUPPORT" from your kernel config should
disable most of evdev.ko dependencies
Shouldn't the EVDEV_SUPPORT default be off on FreeBSD anyway, as well
as libinput not be part of the standard packages?
The Freedesktop Wayland team consists of people with the Kay Sievers
mentality, which made Linus Torvalds ban his contributions. They do
not care about the bugs they introduce, forcing others to clean up the
mess they create.
I'd be glad if FreeBSD would keep clean of following that Wayland fad...
EVDEV_SUPPORT was enabled in GENERIC on 13 and 12-stable to improve
input device handling in X and Wayland. Not having it means that a lot
of input devices stop working, or work much worse.
We in the FreeBSD Graphics Team are working very hard to improve the
FreeBSD Desktop experience, since it is an avenue to recruit new users,
and make current users use FreeBSD more.
Evdev and libinput is used by both Wayland and xorg. You are free to
use either one.
