The thing is that setxkbmap converts model/layout/options to filenames and
sends them to Xserver. The server in its own turn calls xkbcomp and gives
those filenames to xkbcomp. If xkbcomp for some reason can't find or parse
those files it just sends back a notification that there was an "error loading
new keyboard description".
You see the filenames in the debug output of setxkbmap. But they should be
written in a special format for xkbcomp can accept them.
Cut and paste into some file this text:
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "us(pc104)+us_intl" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
... and run on the _server_ machine xkbcomp program:
xkbcomp file_with_the_text
The output of xkbcomp tell you more about problem with the map loading.
