My XF86Config keyboard section is an attempt to copy the man example, with
pc101 replaced by pc104.
[23:39:35 shaul]$ grep Xkb -A3 -B5 /etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"
AutoRepeat 500 5
XkbRules "xfree86"
XkbModel "pc104"
XkbLayout "us"
XkbVariant ""
XkbOptions ""
EndSection
[23:40:43 shaul]$ man XF86Config |grep Xkb -A3 -B2
options. The default mappings for each these are:
XkbRules "xfree86"
XkbModel "pc101"
XkbLayout "us"
XkbVariant ""
XkbOptions ""

XkbKeymap none

XkbTypes "default"
XkbCompat "default"

The Pointer section is used to specify the pointer device
