There is such an option, I just forgot to add it to the help. :)

The evdev driver is currently non-functional (for those who care, I've
rewritten it, and will release it when this throat infection decides
it's had enough --- two weeks and counting thus far -- and I can get
back to work), so right now it just uses the standard keyboard input
layer.

There's code in Xvesa to add a default keyboard, but I assume that it's
broken.

Cheers,
Daniel
