the solution the keyboard configuration was obvious: (for a 97 key keyboard...) Option "XkbModel" "pc97"
(and the standard) Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbLayout" "us" still haven't gotten the mouse to show up. tried: "usb" "Auto" "PS/2" "imps/2" and not even a nudge. when i use "usb" however, the X server fails to start complaining that it cannot initialize CorePointer. ps: hope this is useful to someone else, when i get a fully working file, is there someplace i should submit it?
