Ah, now I think I see what you mean. I didn't express myself very
well. My intention was to make a general statement that input devices
are very likely not to work correctly without an xorg.conf. I didn't
mean to say Pauls input devices won't work, sorry.

Interestingly, I've removed it and the package depending on it wasn't
removed.

No, I hadn't. The keyboard didn't work, and I fixed that. Again,
what's the alternative to what I specified for the keyboard in
xorg.conf? Is there automatic and correct detection of all keyboards
now? And another example: How do you disable DontZap if not in your
xorg.conf?

,---- [man 5 xorg.conf ]
| Option "AutoAddDevices" "boolean"
| If this option is disabled, then no devices will be added from

How about udev?
