With Xorg 7.2, this patch, and the device id patch on top you can add
this ...

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "evdev"
  Identifier    "xenptr"
  Option        "SendCoreEvents" "true"
  Option        "vendor"        "0x5853"
  Option        "product"       "0x0003"
EndSection

... as additional (to the default /dev/input/mice) input device.  The
new input device must also be added to the serverlayout section.
