Ok, just to make sure I'm understanding you. You are saying I can't use "xkbcomp ~/xkb-keymap :0" to update my keyboard mapping with 0.24 (while it works with older versions, although not optimally as you said).
Then you said I should edit the raw keymaps as defined in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst, but it's a completely different format. I can't just paste my config in there and I've found no documentation on how to edit that base formwat (why is it incompatible with xkb-keymap? because xorg hates it users? :) ). Then you said, you don't know anyone who uses xkb-keymap files, but clearly it's the documented way to do things, and what works on other WM/DM that I've tried. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/202883/create-xkb-configuration-from-xmodmap http://madduck.net/docs/extending-xkb/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_KeyBoard_extension https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7799071/use-xkbdmap-setxkbmap-to-map-rwin-to-altgr https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_configuration_in_Xorg https://zuttobenkyou.wordpress.com/2011/08/24/xorg-using-the-us-international-altgr-intl-variant-keyboard-layout/ etc... So, is E really doing the right thing here? ~/xkb-keymap is the new ~/.Xomdmap. It's supposed to work, it works everyone else I've tried. Why not in E 0.24? > i did give you the option of e not touching the xkb settings... if you wish to > do it by hand. My apologies, I may have misunderstood you there. What are you referring to?
