+1

FWIW, I build base packages with an EVDEV kernel and dump them here:
https://allendale.engr.mun.ca/freebsd-evdev/

These are built by a local Jenkins server on a best-effort basis, so no =

promises about availability, but if you're willing to trust some random =

guy on the Internet to build your kernel for you, feel free to use these =

packages. :) The kernel is in the `FreeBSD-kernel-evdev-nodebug` =

package; it's just 12-CURRENT built with the following configuration =

file:

```
include GENERIC-NODEBUG

ident   EVDEV-NODEBUG

# Enable /dev/input/eventX for input devices
device	evdev
options	EVDEV_SUPPORT
```
