This worked for me:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
#        Driver          "kbd"
        Driver          "evdev"
#        Option          "Protocol"      "evdev"
       Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/event2"
#        Option          "Dev Phys"      "isa0060/serio0/input0"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc102"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "no"
EndSection

You don't have the "XkbRules", perhaps that is the problem?
Also check that you have the correct event device.
(Try cat /dev/input/event0 at the console, then type a bit to
verify that the event device is working.)
If none of this helps, try using the same order of statements.
Finally, X.org 6.9 is in unstable for a reason, there may be some bugs.
Perhaps "pc104" or "de" is broken.  If so, use "reportbug xserver-xorg"
