Yo. Thanks, Martin, that was it.
Dumpkeys showed me the current keycode to symbol mapping, it was easy
to see that the Shift + Alt mappings are missing entirely, and also
that the simple Ctrl and Alt mappings are all wrong.
Apparently, this was originally a QWERTY map, where somebody only
bothered to fix the plain case plus the Shift one... so now I know
what I have to do, redo the entire map, fix Ctrl and Alt, add
Shift+Ctrl, Shift+Alt, Ctrl+AltGr, Alt+AltGr, ... I'll post the result
to some french newsgroup as a possible french keyboard mapping.
It's interesting to see how demanding emacs is, in terms of key
combinations :-)
Thanks everybody for the help.
Joao
