You might want to try using
Option "Name" <name of device>
instead of using 'Option "Device" "/dev/input/eventN"' in your
xorg.conf. According to the man page, 'Option "Name"' is more stable,
especially for devices that get plugged and unplugged into different
ports (and hence get assigned different eventN device nodes).
You can also specify vendor (for the vendor ID) and product (for the
product ID) if you're pretty sure of the mappings.
E.g.:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "mouse"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Name" "Logitech Serial Mouse" # This is just an example,
# not really a device
EndSection
