  I begin my USE variable with "-*" and add only the necessary stuff.
If you want to run X without udev, then compile xorg-server with
"USE=-udev".  I don't have evdev installed at all.  I've run X without
an xorg.conf.  The only reason I have an xorg.conf now is to allow
xrandr to force a weird 1536x864 video mode on my 1920x1080 monitor when
watching one specific website.
