I think you can also get this info by runing this.

@piero-vic: [/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst] = 1013 lines.
"gistfile1.txt" is a copy of [/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst] = 887 lines.

Both files differ a lot: https://www.diffchecker.com/nfFpNeVR/

If @jatcwang uses evdev.lst for setxkbmap, I think that's the file to use.

But ...
[setxkbmap -model pc86] > [setxkbmap -query] returns:
rules: evdev
model: pc86
layout: us
options: grp:win_space_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

[!] model "pc86" is in base.lst, NOT in evdev.lst
"rules=evdev", but you can use values from base.lst?

Even stranger:
[setxkbmap -model pc999] > [setxkbmap -query] returns:
rules: evdev
model: pc999
layout: us
options: grp:win_space_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

[!] A pc999 keyboard does not exist. I'm astray ...

BTW: lots of info about setxkbmap: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg/Keyboard_configuration#Using_setxkbmap
