Save this to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi and comment all input devices 
from xorg.conf (and add Option "AllowEmptyInput" "on")
You need to restart hald service and X to make it working. I think this will 
be default behaviour for future Lunar distros. (With small script keeping in 
sync X/hal *.fdi with Lunar's console language settings). Currently I have no 
computer at home so can not commit any changes to Lunar's repo or do 
development work. When my new machine will arrive will look at this more 
deeply.

have a nice day,
