Ah, so for the evdev driver, the only config section you'd need would be
something like:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse0"
    Driver "evdev" 
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
EndSection

No need for protocol, or anything like that?

I'm wanting to get this clear, since I was able to find very little
documentation on evdev, and some of that quite misleadingly out of date
- e.g one source suggested keeping 'mouse' driver, but using 'evdev'
protocol.

Simon.
