Can someone please paste a working sample for a evdev mouse section in
xorg.conf? I still get this:

**) Mouse1: always reports core events
(II) Mouse1: Found 3 relative axes.
(II) Mouse1: Configuring as pointer.
(II) Mouse1: Found 8 mouse buttons
(II) Mouse1: Configured 11 mouse buttons.
(WW) <default pointer>: No Device specified, looking for one...
(II) <default pointer>: Setting Device option to "/dev/input/mice"
(--) <default pointer>: Device: "/dev/input/mice"
(==) <default pointer>: Protocol: "Auto"
(**) Option "CorePointer"
(**) <default pointer>: always reports core events
(==) <default pointer>: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50
(**) <default pointer>: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) <default pointer>: Buttons: 9
(**) <default pointer>: Sensitivity: 1
(**) Option "CoreKeyboard"
(**) Keyboard0: always reports core events
(**) Option "Protocol" "standard"
(**) Keyboard0: Protocol: standard
(**) Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
(**) Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbRules: "xorg"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbModel: "pc105"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "de"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbLayout: "de"
(**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off"
(**) Keyboard0: CustomKeycodes disabled
(II) evaluating device (Keyboard0)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD)
(II) evaluating device (<default pointer>)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "<default pointer>" (type: MOUSE)
(II) evaluating device (Mouse1)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse1" (type: MOUSE)
(II) evaluating device (Keyboard0)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD)
(**) Mouse1: 2 valuators.
(**) Mouse1: Configuring in Absolute mode.
(**) Mouse1: Registering 11 buttons.
(II) Mouse1: Init
(--) <default pointer>: PnP-detected protocol: "ExplorerPS/2"
(II) <default pointer>: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
(II) Mouse1: On

So the mouse reverts to use the old mouse driver. My current entry (as
hinted by the man page):

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse1"
        Driver      "evdev"
        Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:0b.0-usb-0:4:1.0-event-mouse"
EndSection
