On linux, the kernel takes care of this for me; however, I use a mouse.
I tell X to use /dev/input/mice which selects the first mouse, no matter what
it's device number is. It might be advantageous to have a similiar thing for
other device types, or to be able to use a tablet as a mouse inside the kernel
input system.
