There is no configure option for disabling udev, and i do not know status of intel drivers for freebsd profiles. Suggest using 'kernel_linux? ( sys-fs/udev)', else patching configure.ac seems required.
I use a system without udev so I would like to be able to run this without a udev dependancy .. as it should not be needed .. for a video card when drivers are autoloaded by xorg .. as they have been up to this point.
I would concurr on this -- since udev isn't a hard dep and it's just the automagic checking and the fact that most users have it installed that is the issue, it would probably be better to add IUSE="+udev" and patch the configure check to make it optional.
I just did a check and it looks like way more than the latest version does udev automagics. Updated accordingly.
Created attachment 323804 [details, diff] patch to configure.ac to add a --disable-udev option patch is fairly straight-forward, should apply clean on all relevant ebuilds.
On it.
Fixed in portage and in overlay. Thanks for pushing this upstream!
