This is interresting. Actually I have _no_ xorg.conf ;
Googling a little I found "If xorg.conf is missing for some reason, Xorg will 
probe your hardware on every startup. Though this works fine in most cases, 
some settings remain inaccessible."

It does not really explain why I would _loose_ the alt gr key (I would 
understand if I never got it to work). I could also understand if I reverted 
to the US keyboard, but actually all the other key still follow the 
swiss-french setup.

Anyway, I'll create an xorg.conf file and see if that helps.
