Because the xorg-server pkg depends on xf86-input-evdev we can't add a conflict to the evdev driver pkg.

And the synptics driver pkg has the conflicts included. So -Syu wouldn't pull it in when you hold back the Xorg-server.
You're doing a partial upgrade that we don't support and is basically wrong how you do it.
