What you have shown does relate to the keyboard...
I would change what you have above to:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Restart the X server. A logout may do it...or you may need to logout
and then "ctrl-alt-backspace". But if your backspace key is not mapped
correctly.... I may opt to restart the entire system....jus to be sure.
