I don't have evdev at all. My /etc/portage/make.conf has...
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"

Nothing recent. I have a Logitech ball-mouse. The most recent change
I remember is that you may need to set "HID" support. In my desktop's
.config, I have...
Device Drivers --->
[*] HID Devices --->
-*- Generic HID support
[*] /dev/hidraw raw HID device support
<*> USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
[*] PID device support
[*] /dev/hiddev raw HID device support
Special HID drivers --->
And under "Special HID drivers --->" I have
-*- Logitech devices
<M> Logitech Unifying receivers full support
[*] Logitech force feedback support
[*] Logitech wheels configuration and force feedback support
The last 2 items with "force feedback" may be redundant, but I left
them in there since they don't seem to hurt.

I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
