xorg conf user defined driver

[Arne.Adams at t-online.de]

Hi,
In a previous post (http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2014-October/056903.html) I mentioned problems
with intercepting uinput events in an X client as non-extension events.
I was not able to solve this problem.
Hence I decided writing an X-input driver module using the howto from http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/XorgInputHOWTO/ as starting point.
I modified the sample, installed it (output from make install:
...
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/smiths-kbd_drv.so /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/smiths-kbd_drv.so
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/smiths-kbd_drv.lai /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/smiths-kbd_drv.la
..
),
modified my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
    # to enable user defined virtual keyboard
    Identifier     "Hitrax-KBD"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/sh-kbd"
    Driver         "smiths-kbd"
EndSection

When I start writing to the device my driver won't get loaded, instead evdev is used.
xorg log:
[  4680.681] (II) config/udev: Adding input device sh-kbd (/dev/input/event14)
[  4680.681] (**) sh-kbd: Applying InputClass "evdev keyboard catchall"

[  4680.682] (**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105"
[  4680.682] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "de"

Note that with the following device option
Option         "Device" "/dev/input/event14"

 I get the same failure log
Thanks in advance for any help...
