The better way is to let XFree86 where it is (if you don't really have
any mouse declare /dev/null being your ``mouse''), and use the
XInputExtension for this type of device. This would allow for a
concurrent work of the mouse and secondary input devices (joystick,
digiboard).
There's been a rumour on the XFree86 beta list that someone is
actually implementing the XInputExtension these days... (he needs
it for a digitizer).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
