I have a Belgian keyboard, which uses the AltGr key in the same way,
and I have the following in my /etc/XF86Config-4.  I think you just have
to change "be" to "fi".

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree86"

	# The model should be "pc102" if you don't have those Windows
	# keys.
	Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "be"
EndSection
