I have a similar message (in my message, /var/tmp/xfree86.xkm from above is replaced by compiled/xfree86.xkm).
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 ""
This is the preferred method of specifying the keyboard
configuration, however, you can also specify the compo

XkbKeymap none
XkbKeycodes "xfree86"
XkbTypes "default"
XkbCompat "default"
XkbSymbols "us(pc101)"
XkbGeometry "pc"
The Pointer section is used to specify the pointer device
and parameters. The entries available for this section
