Assuming your Xorg server is configured via hal, you can place a file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ that removes the driver key. I use the following file to suppress a joystick from being recognized as an X11 input device: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input"> <!-- Match on anything you like from lshal --> <match key="input.product" contains="SomeProduct Identifier"> <remove key="info.capabilities"/> <remove key="input.x11_driver"/> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> Similarly you could use an fdi file to instruct Xorg to use your own input driver. Have a look at the fdi files provided for e.g. synaptics touchpads.
