Thx. Console was easily fixed. Problems remains for X, I have no 
brace, pipe... chars.
Here's my XF86Config-4 section:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
  Driver     "keyboard"
  Option     "CoreKeyboard"
  Option     "Xkbrules"    "xfree86"
  Option     "XkbModel"    "macintosh"
  Option     "XkbLayout"   "fr_new"
EndSection

The file in xkb/symbols/macintosh/fr_new
seems very good (modified by Etienne Herlent and martin Costabel)
but when I create a new XConsole, there's still no brace nor pipe...

Should this file be in xkb/symbols ?
Is there something to change in keymaps to catch alt/option key as a
modifier ?

Tks to all
