Description:
The canadian french layout did not work with lastest xorg.
This is a layout we use in Québec with keys like:
AltGr + 2 = @
Shift+# = |

I solved the problem in a shell with:
setxkbmap -layout ca -variant fr

Additional info:
pkg version:
xorg-server 1.4.99.906-2
xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1

xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "ca"
Option "XkbVariant" "fr"
EndSection

Steps to reproduce: Install lastest xorg and use french canadian layout.
