(in the sysdev branch, once again)
I looked over this again and noticed that there's an fd leak;
I've pushed a fix for it, which seems to work here.

Thanks!
(Though I don't use Arch.)

The point of the patch is that you can now use evdev without udev.

By the way, I'm about to try sending this upstream (to xorg-devel).
My main request to this list is please, don't bring the flames and
complaints about udev over there.

Thanks,
