Hi,

webcamd can be modified to create devices in a different directory, or 
with different names. Beware that X11 should not attach to all 
input/event devices, only those that have the x11-driver property, as 
set by HAL.

Can you define how X.org shall distinguish between event devices which 
it shall attach to and event devices which it shall not attach to?
