Description Dan Moulding 2025-02-20 19:01:41 UTC 
libevdev requires that the running kernel have CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV enabled. But the ebuild for it doesn't declare that. So users might configure their kernel without it, and get no warnings when installing libevdev that their kernel needs to have that option enabled for it to work.
