Geert: the device /dev/input/mouse1 is not a valid evdev device. Instead, you need to specify /dev/input/event1, or even better the appropriate entry /dev/input/by-id/... or /dev/input/by-path/... Note that you can specify a device only when it is not in used by the host system. Changing to NOTABUG, caused by misconfiguration.
