Microsoft Natural Ergo 4000 wont work in X


I just got this keyboard, go to fire up X and it just spits me back out to console with the following on the screen (this is from /var/log/Xorg.0.log but i get the same on screen after X dies)
Code:
xkb_keycodes             { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; 
    xkb_types                { include "complete" }; 
    xkb_compatibility        { include "complete" }; 
    xkb_symbols              { include "pc(pc105)+us" }; 
    xkb_geometry             { include "pc(pc104)" }; 
(II) Mouse1-usb-0000:00:02.0-2/input0: Init 
    xkb_keycodes             { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" }; 
    xkb_types                { include "complete" }; 
    xkb_compatibility        { include "complete" }; 
    xkb_symbols              { include "pc(pc105)+us" }; 
    xkb_geometry             { include "microsoft(natural)" }; 
(II) evdev brain: Rescanning devices (2). 
(II) Mouse1-usb-0000:00:02.0-2/input0: On 

Backtrace: 
0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x71) [0x48bcc1] 
1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x2ae3ebf715c0] 
2: X(NumMotionEvents+0x12) [0x43e6b2] 
3: X(CreateConnectionBlock+0x53) [0x430523] 
4: X(main+0x650) [0x431060] 
5: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x2ae3ebf5f134] 
6: X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x99) [0x430159] 

Fatal server error: 
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting
and here is the relavent part of my xorg.conf
Code:
Section "InputDevice" 

    Identifier   "Keyboard1" 
    Driver   "kbd" 
     Option "XkbVariant"  "" 
    Option "XkbModel"   "microsoft" 
    Option "XkbLayout"   "us" 

EndSection
im not even looking to get all the extra keys to work right now, i just want X to start . and just as a check, i plugged in my old keyboard (PS2) rebooted, and it works just fine. Also, the keyboard works no problem in console
