Indeed. That's what I said.

You mean they messed up the keyboards there too? I have no idea. It's 
the only file I can provide.

Well, I suppose you can see if it starts yourself and if there is any 
easy way to modify the file to have Xorg accept it. If not, you may 
submit the problem to all those people. Maybe one will care to

Guylhem Aznar <claviernormalise @ externe.net>

or

Cyrille Béraud <cyrille.beraud @ savoirfairelinux.com>

or

amandjee @ oqlf.gouv.qc.ca

That's the best I can do to help you.
