This should have been line 150.

This wouldn't fix your "fr" keymap, only the default "us" keymap for 
PPC.  Did this not work either?  I just tried

	setxkbmap -symbols macintosh/us

on my Thinkpad, which caused VT switching to stop working.  When added 
the include to macintosh/us and reran setxkbmap as above, VT switching 
worked again.
