I had a very annoying problem with X.org swiss-french keyboard layout. I found the solution which may be of interest for a lot of people.
Everytime I ran X, I got in XWin.log (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=250, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "0000100C" (0000100c) (--) Using preset keyboard for "French (Switzerland)" (100c), type "4" Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc105" Layout = "fr_CH" Variant = "(null)" Options = "(null)" The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Error: Can't find file "pc/fr_CH" for symbols include > Exiting > Abandoning symbols file "default" So my keyboard layout was automatically detected, but the corresponding file pc/fr_CH was not found. The workaround I found was to create a symbolic link in cygwin in : /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc by typing : "ln ch fr_CH" Now at least I have a keyboard layout close to what I need (swiss german instead of swiss french), which mean inversion of ö-é and so on...
