Many thanks,

Reconfiguring xserver-xorg using the
right options indeed solved the "problem" :-)

Best regards,
Max

After upgrades to 6.9.x xorg series, the AltGr key stops
working, thus making mostly unusable my swiss (fr_CH)
keyboard. This key actually functions as an AltR key.

This comes from the xlibs packages. As a workaround,
I keep using the old xlibs=3D6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 package.
    

Hi,

there is no bug, you want
  Option "XkbLayout"   "ch"
  Option "XkbVariant"  "fr"
instead.

Denis
