I'm using the pre-experimental Debian packages based on the original
Ubuntu packages.  The /etc/apt/sources.list line for them is:

deb http://people.debian.org/~dnusinow/xorg ./

With a 2.6.8 kernel, here's a snippet from my xorg.conf file.


Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "Protocol" "evdev"
    Option "Dev Phys" "usb-*.0-1.1/input0"
    # Option "Dev Name" "NMB Dell USB 7HK Keyboard"
    Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "evdev"
    Option "Dev Phys" "usb-*.0-1.2/input0"
    # Option "Dev Name" "Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with
IntelliEye(TM)"
EndSection

Note that the keyboards I'm using have a two port USB hub built in.

HTH,
