Description Jan Martin Mikkelsen 2019-06-05 13:04:55 UTC 
Hi,

The evdev interface is available on FreeBSD, with the xf86-input-evdev for include files in /usr/local/include/linux, so <linux/input.h> works, or when build with the native evdev option, where <dev/evdev/input.h> is available.

This change to the distribution configure script handles the first case.
