I (finally) understand what you mean.  I believe this entry is the 
default for the standard keyboard.  If you're going to use a different 
device, you can add it as:

Option "Device" "/dev/input/keyboard0"

Or whatever.

One quick note, I did a search on google and found a reference to a guy 
who's doing exactly what you want to do.  I didn't read the whole link, 
but here they are:

Of course if you get this working, you will be required to do a 
presentation on it at one of the ALE meetings. :)
