Xorg.log with apple keyboard trouble

Some time ago I installed X.org 1.6.99 manually, and now used the archlinux repository to install xorg server 1.7.1.
In both cases I'm having some troubles with my Apple Wireless Keyboard when using HAL (when not using AutoAddDevices false).

In the Xorg.log it seems to detect the keyboard as both as mouse and a keyboard, and it says it's added as a keyboard, however, when I type `xinput list` I get the following output:

blub@blubmb ~ % xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]

As you can see, the Apple Wireless Keyboard is listed as pointer, and I cannot reattach ot to the Virtual core keyboard.

This causes some problems: When I start using the apple keyboard without using my laptop keyboard first, it has a US layout, but as soon as I have pressed one single key on my laptop keyboard, the apple keyboard switches to the layout defined in the HAL policies.

Also, I defined a different layout for the Apple Keyboard in the policy file, but this is simply ignored.
