I tried it too and the result is weird.
With us_fr installed under "/usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/" everything is ok:
[leguern@le5410]setxkbmap -v 6 us_fr
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
Using command line, ignoring X server
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc+us_fr+inet(pc105)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)
geometry: pc(pc105)
[leguern@le5410:xkb][14:31]echo $?
0
If it is under "/usr/local/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/" or
"/usr/local/share/X11/xkb/symbols/" the output is the same but there
is an error:
[leguern@le5410]setxkbmap -v 6 -I /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/symbols
us_fr

I haven't tried these yet, but I will.

Done.

Done.

Done. It fixes one of my problem!

Done.

Done, I now also install the keymap.txt file.

What do you mean?

Done.
Thanks for your reply :)
