Hi all,

  So I have a laptop and akinesis ergo keyboard; and I want to put the
kinesis keyboard right on the laptop keyboard, and code away. Problem is
that sometimes, my kinesis keyboard accidently hits keys on the underlying
keyboard. Using xinput list, I can see that X knows that these are two
separate sources; how can in in xorg.conf tell xorg to only listen to my
kinesis keyboard and ignore my laptop's bilt in keyboard?

Thanks
