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

INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"

  Nothing recent.  I have a Logitech ball-mouse.  The most recent change
I remember is that you may need to set "HID" support.  In my desktop's
.config, I have...

Device Drivers  --->
  [*] HID Devices  --->
    -*-   Generic HID support
    [*]     /dev/hidraw raw HID device support
    <*>   USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
    [*]   PID device support
    [*]   /dev/hiddev raw HID device support
          Special HID drivers  --->

And under "Special HID drivers  --->" I have
       -*- Logitech devices
       <M>   Logitech Unifying receivers full support
       [*]   Logitech force feedback support
       [*]   Logitech wheels configuration and force feedback support

  The last 2 items with "force feedback" may be redundant, but I left
them in there since they don't seem to hurt.
