Alt and AltGr keys not detected.

Hi, I cannot use my AltGr key to type characters such as { } \ / #.
Alt is not detected either.

OS: Ubuntu 9.10
Laptop: Asus M70Sa
Keyboard: french layout
Keyboard config: asus laptop keyboard + french alternative

Here is the output from xev (X events) :

I recommend Keytouch and Keytouch Editor (KDE apps that are included in the repositories and are compatible with Gnome.)
