This is what I have in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
         Identifier     "X.org Configured"
         Screen         "Screen0"
         InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
         InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
         Option      "AutoAddDevices" "on"
         Option      "AutoEnableDevices" "on"
         Option      "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
EndSection
