I think general wisdom is that AEI is a Bad Idea for various reasons that I don't remember, but seemed reasonable when I read them. However, some time back, X _did_ start being all stupid about finding the mouse for me. Un/re-plugging it (USB) after starting X made it show up working, but that's annoying and stupid (and not an option on other systems with e.g. PS/2 meece). I wound up sticking the "other half" of that oft-cargo-culted incantation: Section "ServerFlags" Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" EndSection in my config, and it's worked OK since.
