    When I got bitten with this udev breakage a while ago, it wasn't a
    matter of /dev/input/event? in the X configuration file, but that the
    Synaptics driver directly searches for /dev/input/event? files to
    talk directly to the raw touchpad device driver directly, and fails to
    initialize, thus causing the X server initialization to fail. There
    may be other failure scenarios, but this was the one I ran into with
    my laptop.
