obviously i do NOT want to remove xorg-server. i don't need evdev, but: :: xorg-server: requires xf86-input-evdev>=2.2.5 so no removing it either.the mirror i'm using has been updated today (December 1th), and i'm not using testing.
mirrors package versions: xorg-server 1.7.2-2 xf86-input-evdev 2.3.1-1 thanks -- Arvid Asgaard Technologies
