Here's the keyboard section. Looks like I'm using pc104.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:toggle,grp_led:scroll"
Option "XkbVariant" ",winkeys"
EndSection
The numeric keypad's keys seem to be quite totally nonfunctional. The
cursor control keys do nothing in OpenOffice, emacs, claws-mail, etc
(while the cursor keys to the keypad's left all work fine). With
NumLock on, the keypad's numbers do nothing.
