I propose that xf86-input-evdev is included in the xorg
group (pacman -Sg xorg)
xf86-input-evdev is needed to allow keyboards and mice to work with an xorg configuration that uses hotplugging such as 1.7 (hal) and 1.8 (udev) Without this driver a user who installs X without xf86-input-evdev would have to way to kill x when testing with X -config /path/to/xorg.conf An user can very easily forget about this package. |
This task depends upon

xf86-input-evdev is required by xorg-server, so it's installed
automatically when you choose to install xorg-server from xorg
group. It will be redundant to have it listed in xorg group.
Cool thanks for letting me know. I had a feeling it was going be
something like that!
