actually, to be precise this is caused by any keyboard model other than evdev
if the ruleset is 'base'.

'base' pulls in the xfree86 keycodes which screw the whole thing up. The evdev
ruleset (part of xkeyboard-config 1.4 and later) pulls in the evdev keycodes,
regardless of the model.

"setxkbmap -rules evdev -model pc104 -layout us" is valid now.
