push-buttons via GPIO, /dev/input/ folder does not exist!

[cal]

I'm trying to implement four push-buttons via the GPIO functionality
on pins 3, 5, 7, and 9 of the expansion header (GPIO139, GPIO138,
GPIO137, and GPIO136 respectively). After compiling the kernel and
booting into the console-image of Angstrom, I have no /dev/input/
folder and nothing is in the /sys/class/input/ folder. I can,
however, cd into /sys/class/gpio/ and perform the following:

# echo 139 > export
# cd gpio139
# echo in > direction
# cat value

At this point I get correct values of 0 when the button is not
depressed, and 1 when the button is depressed. So it seems that the
pins are correctly assigned and invoked.

I'm assuming this is a kernel configuration problem. I did have to
edit the .config file as by default the event interface and sysfs
interface are not selected. Therefore, I changed the following two
lines in linux-omap-2.6/.config:

CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS=y
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y

For the sake of completeness, the following are diffs of the kernel
files I've changed to implement these push-buttons.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now there is a /dev/input/ folder, unfortunately, the only thing in it
is 'event0' which turns out to be S1 (the 'USER' button).

Any ideas on why my four buttons aren't showing up in /dev/input?
