Hi

You will need more than that in your /etc/X11/XF86Config file:-

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier	"dummy"
	Screen	"dummy"
	InputDevice	"Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Keyboard1"
	Driver	"Keyboard"
	Option	"XkbRules" "xfree86"
	Option	"XkbModel" "pc105"
	Option	"XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"dummy"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"dummy"
	Driver	"dummy"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"dummy"
	Device	"dummy"
	Monitor	"dummy"
EndSection


Works for me.

The X system is fussy..so use dos2unix if you used a Windows editor to
create it.
