Sorry, copied the wrong part. The section actually uses
input0. Here's the correct one:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Right Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "Protocol"              "evdev"
        Option          "Dev Phys"              "usb-0000:03:00.0-1.1/input0"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
EndSection

Tried again today, just to make sure I have it right, but
no luck :-(
X seems to be unfamiliar with the evdev protocol for keyboards...

(++) ServerLayout "Right"
(**) |-->Screen "Right Screen" (0)
(**) |   |-->Monitor "PHILIPS 107T"
(**) |   |-->Device "Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G550 AGP"
(**) |-->Input Device "Right Keyboard"
(**) Option "Protocol" "evdev"

Config Error:
"evdev" is not a valid keyboard protocol name
(EE) Unable to determine the screen layout
(EE) Error parsing the config file

So it seems to me that the '055_lnx_evdev_keyboard.diff' patch is
missing here...

Will see if I can find the sources for ubuntu xorg, so I can take a look
there.
