Please attach your Xorg.log so we can see what's going on here.

if you're not auto-adding devices, you don't need to ignore any since the
server will only add devices that are listed in the config file.
Also, IIRC the below can also be partially simplified

 Section "InputClass"
          Identifier "ignore all"
          MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
          Option "Ignore" "on"
 EndSection

 Section "InputClass"
          Identifier "unignore Number 5"
          MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event5"
          Option "Ignore" "off"
 EndSection


Cheers,
