funny thing: with your config (the only difference to mine is, you do not use
"nodeadkeys") the AltGr key does lead to an action... however, it is not the
ModeShift one but the classic "Alt". now i have 2 alt keys... ;-)
i tried to modify the one to be ALtGr by using this option:
Option "RightAlt" "ModeShift"
that i had to use some years before with xfree86 in suse... but it does not
work. behaviour stil the same (Alt)... but at least by removing nodeadkeys
the AltGr key is not longer dead. it only has a wrong function now...

the swiss-german keyboard has some keys on different places and instead of
only having
(normal)öäü (with shift)ÖÄÜ
it has on the same keys also the accent keys for french, that are this way
much faster to type... so this 3 keys are actually leading to:
(normal)öäü (with shift)éàè (with CapsLock pressed)ÖÄÜ (with shift and
caps
lock pressed)ÉÀÈ
if you are used to the swiss-german (or swiss french that is in fact same to
swiss german only that öäü are switched by éàè ... i tried this one too, but
has the same problem), it's very hard to get used to the other keyboard...
you always hit wrong keys, if trying to type french... and if you don't check
your text, it looks funny. in letters and reports, this is all but funny,
because they should be typed correctly...
