Bug 245966: x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics: enable EVDEV unconditionally
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245966



--- Description ---
There are 2 reasons to do that:
1. psm backend is mostly useless nowadays as it does not support even
semi-multitouch trackpad packet format. So the only functional backend is
evdev.
2. x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics unconditionally installs high priority
configuration file which effectively forbids libinput to handle touchpads that
makes them unusable in Xorg if xf86-input-synaptics is compiled w/o evdev
support.
