Gentoo - Keyboard issue in Xorg 6.8.2


I am having a weird keyboard issue in my Gentoo installation of Xorg 6.8.2. My "0" (zero) key doesnt work under X. I am sure its not a keyboard problem because it works fine in console and also in Windows XP. I also ran the Ubuntu liveCD which has Xorg 6.8.2 and my "0" (zero) key works fine in it. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. My xorg.conf:
