xf86-input-evdev is not intended to handle touchpads. No gestures etc.

evdev is default protocol for synaptics and psm can be enabled by adding
`Option "Protocol" "psm"` to mouse`s InputDevice section of xorg.conf at
runtime

Yes, I tested all of them with modified psm(4) driver and with synaptics and
elantech touchpads, but should retest to be sure. I will try on weekend.

Currently no touchpad drivers in base supports absolute touch reporting through
evdev, so that change may be useless till this support appeared.
