Could you post the "InputDevice" sections of your xorg.conf file?

There is just one mouse and keyboard. I'm not familiar with the "evdev"
driver, but can give it a try.

Basically, you just have to replace 'Driver "kbd"' with 'Driver "evdev"' and add an

Option "Device" "<path to keyboard event device>"

The above path is something like /dev/input/eventN with N=0,1,2... The exact number depends on what input devices you have plugged in. You can either try them all to find out, or 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices' and look in the Handlers line for the respective device.

I'd try to disable that wacom thingy, just to be sure it doesn't interfere...
