For the record, I've just receive news from the Suse installation
support team. I can no more count on solution clues from them as
"...the configuration of Belgian keyboards is not covered under the
terms of the free installation support." :-((

They are there. Would you like to see the files ?
Please find them (in there latest state) attached below.
EDIT: Xorg.0.log is 41Kb which is too big for the list (Would you like
I privately mail it to you ?)
Here is however what I think is the interesting part

Indeed. I have a Matrox G400 DualHead board.
During the first installation, I removed the "second" detected graphic
board as I have no screen attached to this output, and as to disable
multihead and gain access to the 3D acceleration.
But after several attempts to configure X11, I'm now back with the
detected hardware.
(0) Matrox MGA G400 AGP
(1) Matrox MGA G400 AGP
I didn't changed the settings again as I thought I should better try
to fix the keyboard problem first.
Do you think that if remove the second display (1) again, I will be
able to run Sax from runlevel 3.

Yes, it's a typo.
I couldn't cut-and-paste at that moment, so I retyped it by hand.
Sorry. (It's in fact "xfree86")

Well,
/usr/lib/X11 is linked to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
/usr//X11R6/lib/X11/xkb is linked to /etc/X11/xkb
In /etc/X11/xkb there is no geometry directory.
As I too suspected a bad xorg installation, I tried to re-install it,
but it failed (See my previous mail for the error message output.)

Indeed.

Ha, right.
That's why my keyboard works well from a console at runlevel 3, then ?

Thanks for your reply.
