/dev/uinput with X11

[Leandro Galvez]

I am trying to write my xorg.conf for my simulated touchscreen and my 
simulated keyboard. How do I write it? What should I put in the 
"Option->Device" field? I dont have any physical device so I dont have any 
/dev/input/eventX. Can I just put Option->Device->/dev/input/uinput into 
these fields for keyboard and touchscreen?

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "CCHIP Touchscreen"
  Driver "evtouch"
  Option "Device" "/dev/input/uinput"
  Option "DeviceName" "touchscreen"
  Option "MinX" "0"
  Option "MinY" "0"
  Option "MaxX" "480"
  Option "MaxY" "640"
  Option "ReportingMode" "Raw"
  Option "SendCoreEvents" "On"
EndSection

Thanks and best regards,
Andy
