(USe a 2.6 kernel) $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
On my machine: I: Bus=0003 Vendor=09da Product=001a Version=0001 N: Name="A4Tech RF USB Mouse" P: Phys=usb-0000:00:10.2-2/input0 H: Handlers=mouse0 event0 B: EV=7 B: KEY=ff0000 0 0 0 0 B: REL=303
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0002 Version=ab83 N: Name="AT Raw Set 2 keyboard" P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0 H: Handlers=kbd event1 B: EV=120013 B: KEY=402000000 3802078f840d001 f2ffffdfffefffff fffffffffffffffe B: MSC=10 B: LED=7
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=ab41 N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" P: Phys=isa0060/serio0/input0 H: Handlers=kbd event2 B: EV=120013 B: KEY=402000000 3802078f840d001 f2ffffdfffefffff fffffffffffffffe B: MSC=10 B: LED=7
Look for lines saying Handlers=kbd eventX In the same block, you find Phys=<something> Copy this into xorg.conf, yielding Dev Phys=<something> The proc/bus/input/devices file tells you about all input devices, such as keyboards, mice, joysticks... Take care not trying to interpret a mouse as a keyboard.. :-)
