If u miss the xorg.conf, like me, u can create them easily urself:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo X -configure
sudo cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

-----------------------------------------

And if u want to add some input devices or something will not work, like in the posts above, u have to check for the names and paths (Option "Device").
U can find out with:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices

But if u have still problems, cause ur eventID is changing after every boot, it is better to use Option "Phys" instead of Option "Device".
