Here is my keyboard and mouse sections of my SF86Config-4. It's a pretty
generic configuration, so may help you a little:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
For Debian, you can do (as root) 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86', and
that will give you a nice configuration program. From there it shouldn't
be hard to get a working system. One of those XkbModels that you tried
should have worked (maybe try pc101?). Now, you probably won't get every
single key on that thing to work, since many are Microsoft specific
command shortcuts, but you should easily be able to get normal
functionality.
Another thing, if you are going to be using dpkg-reconfig to configure X,
choose the least advanced level for the config questions they ask you.
You will probably still need to know the horizontal and vertical refresh
rates of your monitor, but it will automatically choose sensible options
for a lot of other stuff.
