Bug Description
Meego uses the attached patch [1] to build in support for the 'evdev' and 'synaptic' drivers. I believe it saves about a second on startup.
Are those safe to build in? (I don't really understand the ramifications of doing so, but hopefully building them in doesn't hurt users that don't use either of them.) If it is safe, maybe we should use the patch too?

Looking at their spec, MeeGo doesn't seem to actually build the input drivers into the server (I don't think that's possible without more extensive patching). Rather, they build in the config files the input drivers ship to make them autoload.
I don't think that these conf files change frequently. I think that a user-added conf file will correctly override this, but need to check.
If ureadahead is working properly I don't think this will be big win on startup time, but that's just my gut, not any hard numbers.
