hi,

12.0-RELEASE does not have EVDEV_SUPPORT enabled out of the box :( so 
all the drivers not developed for evdev specifically (e.g. wmt is, but 
ums/ukbd/psm/atkbd/etc aren't) do not have evdev support.

IIRC, it's on by default in -STABLE, and it will be in 12.1-RELEASE.

You have to either switch to a -STABLE snapshot kernel or rebuild a 
-RELEASE kernel with options EVDEV_SUPPORT. (or switch to -CURRENT of 
course :D)

Also it's a good idea to set sysctl kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12 to make 
sure you get events from individual devices instead of the 
virtual/multiplexed things.
