But it (or rather libinput) has udev as a hard dependency. I have a ps2 keyboard and a 3-button serial mouse, so there is frankly no use for udev here, nor would it help anything except possible to mess up my preset dev directory. Also I have sys-fs/static, even if I install udev, it woun't start, and I don't need yet another deamon running doing nothing for me. Is there possible to resurrect the old drivers ? Or is there another way to solve this ? Regards, /Karl Hammar
