What are you trying to fix with those entries?

And what is in it?

Well, that's broken. Look, there are basically two ways to configure
keyboard and mouse for xorg. There's the old way, where you have
InputDevice entries for them in xorg.conf.
Then there's the new way, where you run hal and let it handle the
keyboard and mouse for xorg. No InputDevice sections are needed. For
example, here is my xorg.conf from the Acer Aspire One. Note the lack
of InputDevice sections and those magic ServerFlags options.
