[Voyage-linux] missing /dev/input/event*

[(spam-protected)]

I figured it out ... evdev kernel module was missing, after compiling and modprobing,
I finally have those event*s in /dev/input.

Is it only me missing this module in kernel provided by this distribution?

 Hi,
 
 I'm running voyage-0.6.5:
 $ uname -a
 Linux voyage 2.6.30-voyage #1 PREEMPT Wed Dec 30 18:39:44 GMT 2009 i586 GNU/Linux
 
 I need to pass the evtouch driver path to virtual event device usually located in /dev/input, but
 there are no such devices:
 $ ls -l:
 total 0
 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root     60 2010-05-24 14:32 by-id
 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root     60 2010-05-24 14:32 by-path
 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 63 2010-05-24 14:32 mice
 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 32 2010-05-24 14:32 mouse0
 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 13, 33 2010-05-24 14:32 mouse1
 
 There are no eventS listed in /proc/bus/input/devices either:

 I thought, that creation of event handlers is handled by udev ... not in this case.
 Is there a way to enable creation of these handlers or am I missing something?
 Thanks for any suggestions.
