I think general wisdom is that AEI is a Bad Idea for various reasons
that I don't remember, but seemed reasonable when I read them.
However, some time back, X _did_ start being all stupid about finding
the mouse for me. Un/re-plugging it (USB) after starting X made it
show up working, but that's annoying and stupid (and not an option on
other systems with e.g. PS/2 meece). I wound up sticking the "other
half" of that oft-cargo-culted incantation:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection
in my config, and it's worked OK since. 's probably worth a try...
