Try this:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "Default Layout"
        Screen          "Default Screen"
        Option          "Clone"                 "off"
        Option          "Xinerama"              "off"
        InputDevice     "Generic Keyboard"
        InputDevice     "TouchPad"              "CorePointer"
        InputDevice     "Configured Mouse"      "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

SendCoreEvents makes another input device behave just like the core
input device, and you can then use them both at once.
