I don't think that this is correct wording. I think it would be more 
like "configuring server on Linux platforms" or "systems that have udev 
installed".

Evdev driver does not handle advanced touchpad stuff like multitaping, 
scrolling and such. Also, this driver is required for gnome stuff where 
xorg-synaptics is looked for.

Have you actualy confirmed this? Since I don't remember having any 
problems outside of vmware player?

--enable-sna option is usefull for sandybridge processors.

This is driver for MIPS hardware iirc. And since LFS/BLFS are x86/x86_64 
only, it does not belong here.

I'd rather replace this driver with Nouveau. I'll add it

Again, wrong wording. VIA OpenChrome is x86 or x86_64 ... Also, I have 
never had any problems with it lately.

Same as for newport driver. LFS/BLFS does not cover sparc. They don't 
belong here.

This one is used by BSD Framebuffer and LFS/BLFS is Linux-only. It does 
not belong on this list.

Also, you should have removed files that are not needed in protocol 
headers and libraries section. I don't think anyone needs full lists.

Other than that, Great work dj!
