SuSE doesn't configure/compile evdev as a kernel mod. It's a lib package
/usr/lib/pulse-0.9/modules/module-mmkbd-evdev.la
/usr/lib/pulse-0.9/modules/module-mmkbd-evdev.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.la
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so
/usr/share/man/man4/evdev.4.gz
/usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev
/usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34-obj/i386/bigsmp/include/config/input/evdev.h
/usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34-obj/i386/debug/include/config/input/evdev.h

Note no *.ko file. From what I gather it loads on demand. The latest SaX2
packages have updated the code for evdev and I have gotten it to load, though
in my case my mobo's usb bus seems to be flaky so I went back to ps/2. Funny
thing is that I haven't changed my xorg.conf to reflect this and the mouse
works fine <shrugs>
My xorg conf section for the mouse is as follows (you may have known/done this
already).
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Vendor" "Sysps"
Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2"
Option "Dev Name" "B16_b_02 USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"
Option "Dev Phys" "usb-0000:00:02.1-2/input0"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection
The dev name and dev phys is from:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I've always had problems with reliability and throughput with usb mouses in
SuSE - ever since early 8x/9x beta days. And this held true in 10.2 (once
again on this particular mobo the usb bus gets flaky at times). But, evdev
gave me much better response and through put. They're still working out the
kinks but have included a config option in the latest SaX2 package.
HTH, Curits.
