Here is my complete x11-input.fdi  which works just fine.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
<append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel" type="string">microsoft</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbRules" type="string">xorg</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">en_US</merge>

 <merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">xorg</merge>
 <merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge></match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>

This is with an hal enabled x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.2-r1 and all
x11-drivers, especially 

x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse

re-emergered after mering xorg-server.
