I have the main AT keyboard and an additional USB keyboard that is implemented as a side-effect of mouse. Disconnecting the mouse (with included in it keyboard) causes AT keyboard to stop functioning. This is because HAL-support code in xorg causes it to unload the keyboard driver, even though another keyboard is still attached. (see stack below). I suggest Xorg should only disable the keyboard driver when the last keyboard is disconnected. HAL interface is able to find all keyboards attached.
