Details
udev>=091-3 does not automatically load the evdev kernel
module, which causes synaptics and other similar drivers to
fail, preventing X from starting. There are two workarounds
- downgrade to 091-2, or load evdev another way - either
manually or in rc.conf.

This task depends upon
X does not start on my laptop after upgrading to 091-3, and 091-4 does not fix it.
091-5 still does not load evdev for me. Is a kernel newer than 2.6.15.4 required for this?
Sorry I'm late with this. evdev still does not autoload for me. I now have udev 095-1 and kernel26 2.6.17.4-2 installed. The device is a Synaptics touch pad, on a Dell Inspiron 5000.
and try again.
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", RUN+="/lib/udev/load-modules.sh evdev"
this is the rule, and it should be ever loaded if you have the input subsystem
on my 6 pcs it loads fine
