I contacted upstream about evdev incompatibility and maintaining. 
Here is the answer:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
btnx is unofficially dead and I have moved onto other things. It's
been a while since I looked at what caused the problems so my memory
is a little rusty. But at least one problem was that evdev locked the
input device preventing btnx from reading it. I remember doing some
stuff with HAL (I don't remember the module name anymore) and I got
around the problem, but it ended up being too complicated to make
casual users go through the process and mistakes could lead to an
unstartable X session.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

According to this, I'm closing this thread.
