Hi Eric.
I had the same problem as you (* "Pas facile tous les jours d'être français
;)" *). To enable those keys, I downloaded kbd-mac-fr.tar.gz and from
http://www.linux-france.org/macintosh/clavier_rpm3.html
and installed mac-fr-ext_new.kmap.gz as indicated on the web page.
Then I had to put the following line in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 :
Section "InputDevice"
(...)
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr_new"
Endsection
Thus, I can have backslash, tilde and pipe by pressing at once [shift][alt]
and respectively /, N and L on my Ibook2/Woody.
