Well us layout is pc104, not pc105.  You don't need a variant or options
at all, so this should work:

Section "InputDevice"
      Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
      Driver          "kbd"
      Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
      Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
      Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
EndSection
