As yoyo says:

Remove 
Section "ServerLayout"
#       InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

because evdev does not need it and change your keyboard section as suggested, 
or if it doesn't work you can also try this:
=====================================
Section "InputClass"
       Identifier  "keyboard catchall"
       Driver      "evdev"
       MatchIsKeyboard "on"
       MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
       Option "XkbLayout" "pl"
       Option "XkbOptions" 
EndSection
=====================================
