Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Generic Keyboard"
	Driver		"keyboard"
	Option		"CoreKeyboard"
	Option		"Protocol"	"Standard"
	Option		"AutoRepeat"	"500 30"
	Option		"XkbKeycodes"	"xfree86"
	Option		"XkbTypes"	"default"
	Option		"XkbCompat"	"default"
	Option		"XkbGeometry"	"pc"
	Option		"XkbRules"	"xfree86"
	Option		"XkbModel"	"microsoft"
#	Option		"XkbLayout"	"rums(basic)"
#	Option		"XkbOptions"	"grp:shift_toggle""
EndSection

I guess you don't need last two lines. Try it.
