It's "de_CH", uppercase!

It's not really the Alt key that produces those characters, but the
Mode_switch key. Anyway, possibly because of the mistake above the
Mode_switch key isn't set properly, what do you get with 'xmodmap -pm' ?

I suppose you mean àéè when you do shift+ö etc? Again, correcting the
uppercase problem in XF86Config-4 should fix the problem.

Good luck.
