Using the above, you shouldn't need the lines below.  Your devices need
to be statically configured in xorg.conf.  If you are using hald, then
remove both the AllowEmptyInput and AutoAddDevices lines above.  I
currently use moused as well, since there still seems to be some
occasional issue with my mouse if I try and use native psm...
