man evdev might give you some idea.

I am using Arch Linux, and the file was there already. I tried it without the file but then i have no mouse nor keyboard input at all. I had to reboot in Runlevel 1 to put the file in its initial folder.

Any other ideas?

Did you create that file yourself?
evdev is a basic input driver, I don't think it needs anything like that.
Unless you're using some DIY distro that needs this...
Try renaming that file and restarting X.

First of all, this is my first experience with XFCE. I was using Gnome for a long time, but due to Gnome3/Unity i decided to switch to something else. First, i tried E17, but that did not satisfy me. But XFCE feeled great from the the very first second!

Ok, here is my problem: I cannot middle-click with my mouse. That means:

* No Middle-Click-Paste
* No Middle-Click Tab-Close in my browser
* No Middle-Click Open-in-new-Tab in my browser

I could imagine that this is related to my xorg config, so here is the relevant stuff:

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf 
#
# Catch-all evdev loader for udev-based systems
# We don't simply match on any device since that also adds accelerometers
# and other devices that we don't really want to use. The list below
# matches everything but joysticks.
