[Problem] xf86-input-evdev, xorg 1.6. i686

Hello,
i tried to makepkg to xorg 1.6 from the the texting repo, and it requires xf86-input-evdev 2.1.3.
xf86-input-evdev 2.1.3 does not exist in the repo's but xf86-input-evdev 2.2 is in testing repo, but i've problem....
xf86-input-evdev 2.2 requires xorg 1.6, and xorg 1.6 requires xf86-input-evdev 2.1.3 or upper.

WTF?! what can i do?

here's some outputs:

Re: [Problem] xf86-input-evdev, xorg 1.6. i686

so it's saying:

you can't run xorg 1.6 w/o evdev >= 2.1.3. 

you can't build evdev 2.2 w/o xorg >= 1.6.

you could:

install testing/evdev 2.2 (with -Sf if required) then build xorg 1.6

install testing/{evdev 2.2,xorg 1.6} should be no issue there

edit the PKGBUILDs to get rid of the dependencies, build and install evdev 2.2 and xorg 1.6
