driver conflict. since hotplugging is enabled, the device will be picked
up once through the config, once through hotplugging. when it is picked up
through the config everything is fine and the log looks good.

the device is a touchpad so in your distro's default configurations it will
be picked up with the synaptics driver when hotplugging. that driver grabs
the event device, thus no events go through to the device you've configured.

remove the synaptics.conf from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and you should be fine.
