Works fine for me without "Load" lines too.

The MX1000 works fine for me on i386 (see
http://blog.blackdown.de/2006/01/15/updated-logitech-mx1000-configuration/)
On powerpc evdev support was broken in 6.9.0.dfsg.1-2 (see #346460).
The bug was closed with 6.9.0.dfsg.1-3. I somewhat doubt it really
got fixed but I had no chance to try -3 on powerpc yet.
