I was doing this to disable HAL hotplugging for a device, but it still
meant that the device was being picked up in xorg.conf. I don't know
what's needed to completely disable X from picking up the extra mice.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.product" contains="TrackPoint">
      <remove key="input.x11_driver"/>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>
