You need to add the actual <qemu:...> elements. The snippet in the wiki you linked does not show that it belongs between </devices> and </domain>. Note that libvirt does support evdev passthrough via virtio-input (the virtio-input-host QEMU device), which saves you from setting up the permissions and cgroup acl manually, but requires virtio drivers in the guest and won't give up control of the evdev while the guest is running.
