Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

What I did:

added evdev to /etc/modules

configured /etc/X11/xorg.conf mouse entry to

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Michis Logitech MX700-USB"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "CorePointer"
        Option "Protocol" "event"
        Option "Dev Phys" "usb-0000:00:11.2-2/input1"
        Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
        Option "Buttons" "10"
        Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option "Resolution" "800"
        Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
EndSection

I got the inputX and eventX numbers from cat /proc/bus/input/devices

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c50b Version=2100
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:11.2-2/input0

What I noticed:
the output from cat /proc/bus/input/devices differs from time to time and the "PC Speaker" sometimes comes first, sometimes in the middle and sometimes at last. That changes the eventX number :\ But with that in mind it should work about every third start ( didn't ever )
There are 2 devices called "Logitech USB Receiver" which are the keyboard and the mouse - so one can't say what is what only by the name ( I've looked at the handler and choose the one with a mouseX handler )
