no driver except wacom uses this though, and even then it's a compile-time guard, not a configure-time guard. You could still run an older version of evdev, make clean && make install and you're done. Remember that no driver actually has _active_ support for hal or udev, it's all the same to them. Wacom has a little piece of code, but that's just a strcmp() for "hal" and "udev". The alternative to this patch is to move the 00-evdev.conf (or 10-evdev.conf) into the server and install it whenever udev is enabled. Would that work for you?
