It works for me.
My default XKB settings with xkb-data:
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(azerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc105)+fr+compose(caps)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
Use XKB data from obsolete xlibs package:
$ export XKBPATH=/etc/X11/xkb
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(azerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc/pc(pc105)+pc/fr+compose(caps)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
The pc/ subdirectory shows that files are read from /etc/X11/xkb.
Activate these settings
$ setxkbmap -print | xkbcomp - :0
Check that X did load files from /etc/X11/xkb
$ xkbcomp :0 - | grep xkb_symbols
xkb_symbols "pc/pc(pc105)+pc/fr+compose(caps)" {
This variable must be set before X is started, or if it is set later,
you must call setxkbmap after setting this variable.

Indeed, it worked with 6.9 and does not seem to work anymore, I need
to check why.
