setxkbmap -print doesn't use the keymap directly as you'd expect. it uses

Why xkbcomp doest seem to work?
check with xkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY xkbmap.out and compare that file with the
keymap before and after. where xkbcomp uploads the correct data and the
server accepts everything, the file will reflect the changes you made.

Thanks.

I had seen in a webpage that with:

$ setxkbmap -print    i can see the '''current settings'''.
Also with setxkbmap i can change the current xkeymap used by XKB.

So i guess in my mind a strong connection was made that since with that command i can change the mapping i can also see the current one!. But as you said setxkbmap -print will show just a mapping from MLVO options to a Ktcsg include commands.

Indeed with :  xkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY xkbmap.out    i can see the changes i've asked for.
