evdev driver has changed a bit and is now configured a different way.
It's no longer possible to use evdev with special nodes (like yours)
You have to use the original device (event*) or use the name.

$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=1532 Product=0002 Version=0100
N: Name="Razer Razer Diamondback Optical Mouse"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:02.0-1/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input0
H: Handlers=mouse0 event0
B: EV=7
B: KEY=7f0000 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103

According to the output I can use the event0 device to configure my mouse or I 
can use the name. You can configure evdev with the name like this.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Razer Diamondback"
        Driver          "evdev"
        Option          "Name"  "Razer Razer Diamondback Optical Mouse"
EndSection
