On Fri, 21 Sep 2007 the mental interface of

Thanks a lot for pointing out.

I created a udev rule:

KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="046d", SYSFS{idProduct}=="c50e" NAME="input/event-mx1000", SYMLINK="input/%k"

and added:

Option "Device" "/dev/input/event-mx1000"

to the InputDevice Section.
This works ;)

But I noticed in evdev(4) that 'Option "Device"' is strongly
discouraged.
