$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
Then you should have a src/.libs/evdev_drv.so, copy it into
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ and restart X.

During the build, you might need to do (just once)  
    apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-input-evdev
and
    apt-get install xutils-dev

And then git bisect good or bad depending on whether it worked or not.
