I did a diff of both files. The main difference is that the evdev_drv.so is not loaded the first time xorg is started. If I understand the log correctly xorg uses hal to discover hardware?!? This smells like some nasty dependency problem. When looking at /etc/rc3.d/ you will see this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2007-12-01 00:21 S13kdm -> ../init.d/kdm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2008-04-30 19:18 S24hal -> ../init.d/hal
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2007-12-01 02:03 S30gdm -> ../init.d/gdm

If hal is used by X then kdm should have a id greater than 24. Maybe just give it S30kde ;-)
