Please, could you try Xorg -configure -verbose 2>log.log.
It might generate appropriate hw sections for you.
Also see attached my xorg.conf, it might work for you,
as we both have driver ati.

You can also try to use driver vesa.

These modules are not kernel modules, but xorg modules,
they should be in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/

ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/
total 66
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11692 Oct  7 16:35 kbd_drv.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11692 Oct  7 16:35 keyboard_drv.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41368 Oct  3 12:03 mouse_drv.so

Do you have installed packages xserver-xorg-input-kbd
and xserver-xorg-input-mouse ?

For list of other possible packages try
"apt-cache search xserver-xorg"

Hope it helps.
