Oh, speaking of selling: SuSE supported sg-latin1 since about SuSE 4.0 ;))

sg-latin1.kmap.gz
Probably the Swiss french keymap too:
fr_CH-latin1.kmap.gz

I found those in /usr/share/keymaps:
/usr/share/keymaps/amiga/amiga-sg.kmap.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/sg-latin1.kmap.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/fr_CH-latin1.kmap.gz
For sun, mac and atari, they don't seem to exist. So I'd suggest
to support those for x86:
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/sg-latin1.kmap.gz (Swiss German)
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/fr_CH-latin1.kmap.gz (Swiss French)
Thank you
Peter
