I assume you mean X0.devices instead of X0.display.  Anyway, try replacing
the /dev/hilkbd entry with the appropriate /dev/hil[1-7] entry that represents
the raw keyboard device node.  the X server expects raw entries in X0.devices,
not cooked ones.  (I assume that your /dev/mouse is linked to /dev/hil6 or
whatever.)

This should solve your problem.
