i haven't had any issues installing pkgs via this branch.  one question 
tho - i believe to make use of libevdev it requires a kernel built with 
evdev support correct?  if that is so - is there a specific patchset 
that should be used?

i tested out evdev a while ago - but am not sure the patchset i have 
laying around is the correct one.

thanks!
