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.
