On two laptops of mine evdev causes untold confusion with the touchpad and
second language selection for the keyboard. I *have* to use the synaptics and
keyboard input drivers. I'm also using mouse (because it doesn't hurt I
guess).
I tried of course to remove them all and leave evdev initially, but it all
went horribly wrong. Perhaps evdev will catch up eventually, I just hope
synaptics and keyboard don't default into being deprecated before then.
