Post the sections of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf that deal with the input 
devices.  You also might want to post the output of synclient -l.  
Here's what I've got in my xorg.conf for input devices:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard1"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
        Option      "XkbRules" "xfree86"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc101"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse1"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "PS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "synaptics"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option      "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

...everything works fine.  However, I'm using a T42p, not an X30, and I 
have a USA keyboard.
