Xkb is an extention to the X11 protocol. It is supported by XFree. You can
explicitly disable Xkb support, but I figure you don't).
xkbcomp is a program that can compile a keyboard map using that extention
API , and optionally apply it to a display.
setxkbmap is a program that orders the X server to compile a map
(implemented using xkbcomp at the X server side). Some of the Xkb
front-ends use setxkb, as it has a convinient command-line interface.
