I am looking around and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction where I can create a file a-la "10-evdev.conf" in a desktop linux xorg.conf.d directory so that I can add a line similar to:

Code:
Section "InputClass"
   Identifier     "NotOnXorgServer"
   MatchProduct   "someInputDevice"
   Option         "Ignore" "on"
EndSection
If this is even possible as of now

I don't want the kernel to stop supporting the device so I wouldn't like any "Unload the module" answers, I need Xorg to ignore it. This really touches on udev more than evdev, but anyways

Thanks

Sorry for the late response, this was exactly what I needed, thank you

For future reference, created file
/etc/hal/fdi/preprobe/10-blacklist.fdi
with contents
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
    <device>
        <match key="info.category" contains="input">
            <match key="input.product" contains="PartNameOfDevice">
                <merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
            </match>
        </match>
    </device>
</deviceinfo>
