And we really don't recommend configuring X through udev. If udev rules are necessary, use them to "tag" devices only. The specific configuration then goes into the xorg.conf. Example I'm working on atm: Some touchpads have a less-than-ideal button positioning. This affects some specific models so you can use udev (or another config backend) to assign a "touchpad_overlapping_buttons" tag to those devices. Then in the xorg.conf, you can match this to whatever specific configuration you require for this kind of touchpads.
