Smdev is simple device manager. It's alternative to udev, eudev and mdev.

Install

Disable udev USE Flags

First you need to disable udev and gudev use flags.

   /etc/portage/make.conf (bash source code)
USE="$USE -udev -gudev"

Configure Input Devices

Then enable keyboard and mouse drivers instead of evdev. For touchpad you can use synaptics driver.

   /etc/portage/make.conf (bash source code)
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"

Rebuild World

Now you have to rebuild world for new settings to take effect.

root # emerge -uavDN @world
root # emerge -av --depclean

Emerge smdev

Now you can emerge smdev.

root # emerge -av smdev

Configure X.Org

Configure X.Org to use keyboard/kbd and mouse instead of evdev. Use "InputDevice" instead of "InputClass".

   /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-keyboard.conf
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "keyboard0"
        Driver "kbd"
        option "AutoServerLayout" "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "fi"
EndSection
   /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-mouse.conf
Section "InputDevice"
        identifier "Mouse0"
        driver "mouse"
        option "AutoServerLayout" "on"
        option "device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection
   /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-touchpad.conf
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "touchpad0"
        Driver "synaptics"
        option "AutoServerLayout" "on"

        Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1"
        Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1"

        Option "SoftButtonAreas" "65% 0 0 20% 45% 60% 0 20%"
        Option "AreaTopEdge" "20%"
EndSection

Add smdev to sysinit runlevel

Now you can add smdev to sysinit runlevel.

root # rc-update del udev sysinit
root # rc-update del udev-mount sysinit
root # rc-update del udev-postmount boot
root # rc-update add smdev sysinit
