xorg.conf accepts the following server flags:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
EndSection
If you have them, then you must specify the keyboard and mouse
configurations on xorg.conf, and xorg won't autodetect them through
whether hal or udev, but only will use what is specified under
xorg.conf.
I've been using this to keep inmune to all the changes happening
around xorg and autodetection (and to prevent using hal)...
So I haven't had the need to go configure anything else than
xorg.conf... Perhaps it's time to take a look at
/etc/defaults/keyboard (I never had), :-)
