my problem is that if you add two keyboards of the same type, they will
receive random index (different ones), now you do info keyboard, and you
see two keyboard with the same names and different numbers, how do you
know which of the two given you want to choose?

And no, I don't have magic bullet to make multimonitor/keyboard/mouse
behave as expected out of given them right id's.

Later, Juan.
