You don't need to do anything. When you create the device, HAL sends the
information to the server, which then picks it up and configures it
appropriately.

So you do the same thing as for a physical device - add your stuff into the
fdi file or set up an xorg.conf entry for it.
(FYI evdev git master has test/ directory that provides a simple uinput
devices for testing. Maybe that's a starting point for you)
