Do you mean "how my X driver can consume all events without levaing
anything to the default X mouse driver feeding off /dev/input/mice"?
Well, mousedev multiplexor is evil and as soon as X drivers start
support hotplugging of input devices we will kill it. But for now your
X digitizer driver can do EVIOCGRAB ioctl ensuring that it will be the
only recepient of events produced by the device in question.

Does this answer your question?
