hmm, in that case that line wouldn't actually do what it should.
AutoAddDevices off enables the old defaults, i.e. the mouse and keyboard
drivers. The mouse driver hooks onto /dev/input/mice and would receive
events. The correct solution here is to explicitly ignore devices:

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

I'll post that on the github bug as well 

Cheers,
   Peter
