I believe to use 'option test:test_mapping', you have to enter your new option into the rules/base file. To do without touching the rules, you can use the notation 'test(test_mapping)'. Also, after some experimentation, I am under the impression that setxkbmap does not pass the -I argument to xkbcomp. A workaround is to use the -print option and to invoke xkbcomp explicitly. To test, you can run something like this: setxkbmap 'gb+test(test_mapping)' -print | xkbcomp -I$HOME/.xkb -xkb - - and check the output. Then, to verify that the keymap compiles: setxkbmap 'gb+test(test_mapping)' -print | xkbcomp -I$HOME/.xkb - test.xkm To really load the map to the server (assuming the display is :0): setxkbmap 'gb+test(test_mapping)' -print | xkbcomp -I$HOME/.xkb - :0 Of course, you can skip the first two steps, but they will help to reduce the number of times you have to reboot.
