X.org version 7.4 with xorg-server 1.5 introduces a new way of handling input devices (keyboards, mouses, touchpads, trackball, etc..).

Instead of using some configuration rules in xorg.conf like in Xorg 7.3 and previous versions, input devices are now automatically configured and enabled in Xorg once the system found them.
