And so it is, because looking into /dev/input/by-path/ I see these links:

pci-0000:00:10.4-usb-0:4.2:1.0-event-mouse -> ../event1
pci-0000:00:10.4-usb-0:4.2:1.0-mouse -> ../mouse0
pci-0000:00:10.4-usb-0:4.3:1.0-event-mouse -> ../event2
pci-0000:00:10.4-usb-0:4.3:1.0-mouse -> ../mouse1
pci-0000:00:10.4-usb-0:4.4:1.0-event-kbd -> ../event3
pci-0000:00:10.4-usb-0:4.4:1.1-event- -> ../event4


And looking into /dev/input/ I see what the udev rule did:

kbd_2a -> event3
kbd_2b -> event4
mouse_1 -> event1
mouse_2 -> event2


Don't be disturbed by the different names compared to the one in the
files I sent you. I just had yet another look into the files and
shortened the names a bit to make sure I have no typing error in it.

And those are the links that I use in xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "mouse_1"
    Driver      "evdev"
     Option     "Device"        "/dev/input/mouse_1"
    Option      "Buttons"       "9"
    Option      "Resolution"    "800"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "kbd_2a"
    Driver      "evdev"
    Option      "Device"        "/dev/input/kbd_2a"
    Option      "XkbRules"      "xorg"
    Option      "XkbModel"      "evdev"
    Option      "XkbLayout"     "de"
    Option      "Protocol"      "Standard"
    Option      "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "kbd_2b"
    Driver      "evdev"
    Option      "Device"        "/dev/input/kbd_2b"
    Option      "XkbModel"      "evdev"
    Option      "XkbRules"      "xorg"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "mouse_2"
     Driver      "evdev"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mouse_2"
    Option      "ZAxisMapping"      "4 5"
EndSection

So that must be different compared to older versions, because in Ubuntu
Hardy it doesn't behave that way. Like I said before: all those files I
sent you are working in Hardy without any problem. If there were
mistakes in those files, they shouldn't work in Hardy either, should they?
