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.
