You're on the right track, having found the relevant part of
xorg.conf.  Next, you must use the 'evdev' input driver rather than
keyboard and then you can specify the keyboard(s) via event numbers, as
listed in /proc/bus/input/devices.  If your keyboard appears twice use
only the first eventX listing.  You'll need one entry per keyboard.

If you need more information on how you can specify keyboards
precisely, look into configuraitons for 'Multi-Seat' X.  

Good luck,
