Have you tried adding AutoAddDevices false to your xorg.conf?

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option         "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection

I had to do that until the latest hal update in order to get my wireless 
usb mouse and keyboard to work under X. Otherwise your settings for 
mouse and keyboard have no effect after X org 7.4.
