Try adding the option "AllowEmptyInput" "on" to your xorg.conf. If you 
look in your xorg.log there will probably be a line like:
(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd' or 'mouse' will 
be disabled.
(WW) Disabling Keyboard1
(WW) Disabling Mouse1


The above mentioned option disables this behaviour.
