Okay.... I placed evdev.o where it should go (/lib/modules/2.4.25-gentoo/kernel/drivers/input/evdev.o, and yes that's my running kernel version). I tried specifying the fullpath to modprobe and it failed too. I took the risk and tried actually "insmod evdev.o" and it worked...? I have had no problems with my tablet so far, altough it worries me a bit that modprobe fails while insmod works.

So I am not sure what went wrong... well, it "works" so far, but modprobe fails to load it automatically, so I am forced for now to do a manual loading of the module. Any ideas of what I can do, or what I should do to track down a source to this mysterious issue? I tried compiling the module without module-versioning, but it still does not 'probes', so to speak.

I had exactly that problem at one point.  I wish I could tell you what I
did to fix it, but I really can't quite remember.  Have you tried
running as root, depmod and then modules-update?  That should rebuild
the map modprobe uses.  Sorry about my memory failure, but it has been
awhile since I moved up to gentoo-dev-sources.
