Yup. It's OK, though. I tried running X with mdev several months ago,
and somehow forgot about trying that with libsysdev.

My experiments seemed to indicate that a udev-based X will not get any
input devices when run without udev, so I tried specifying the input
devices (mouse and keyboard) manually. I never figured out the keyboard,
but I could probably find it now with devinfo.
