That should be fine, I guess.

Ah, good catch. Although I also get that message this can be worth a try
:-)
But how to disable "AutoDevices"? I think that's a Xorg setting, let me
google for that...
Hum, found this tip¹, while it's for wheezy it can be also valid for
squeeze): it seems you have to put this stanza in your "/etc/X11/
xorg.conf" file (create that file if it is not there).
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
But I'm afraid you will a keyboard to do that O:-). Can you grab a USB
keyboard and attach it to the computer? Another option can be accessing
to the machine via ssh and run the commands from a remote computer.
