xorg.conf disabling keyboard

[tongke xue]

This works _almost_ perfectly
here's what I havbe:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver         "evdev"
    Option          "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-05f3_0007-event-kbd"
     Option         "XkbRules" "xorg"
     Option         "XkbModel" "pc105"
     Option         "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection


my laptop's built in keyboard is ignored; only input from the kinesis is
taken into account

there's one slight problem -- my keyboard now ignore left/right/up/down
arrow keys and pageup/page down keys

i'm guessing i have the wrong XkbModel value of pc105? but i'm not sure what
to replace it with

i tried to find xkb files related to pc105, but 'locate pc105' brings up
nothing on my computer

thanks
