pbbuttonsd is a nice utility that (between the other things) monitors

The synaptics driver uses EVIOCGRAB and they don't work nice together

Now, with your proposal a user not using the synaptics driver and would
lose multiplexing to /dev/input/mice.
Yes, you are right, it won't work.
So why not just make EVIOCGRAB mean "don't send events to
mousedev but still report data to others opening the device"?
That darn layering thing. We don't want evdev to know about all other
handlers there are.
