also another tip, its possible to configure a device dynamically with 'xinput', you can toggle off with: xinput --set-prop "name of device" "Device Enabled" 0 i use this with my wacom tablet to go between xorg device and HID, a full set of properties can be found with: xinput --list-props "name of device" i hope this is of help.
