Does that 'Identifier "Keyboard1"' line have a corresponding
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
line in the ServerLayout section of XF86Config? I ask only because if
that keyboard is the only keyboard attached to your system, I'd expect
it to be referred to as 'Keyboard0' in both the ServerLayout and the
appropriate InputDevice sections.
Cheers,
Matthew
