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. -- Walter Dnes <waltdnes@waltdnes.org>
