Udev should do it's job without any extra rules. I use standard event* nodes
that should already be set up on any distro.

KERNEL=="event*",   MODE="0644",    NAME="input/%k"

My "device" option is redundant because it uses protocol "auto-dev" to
assign a node for it, which will always be event*

Synaptics DeviceInit called

(--) Touchpad auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event11
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event11"
