French keyboard : XWin -query

Hello,

I try to replace Exceed by Xfree86 in my department of research.
In my .bat file, I generate a keymap and I connect to a hostname parameter
(see after).

So, at the login windows, my keyboard is french and so during my session.

But, the ALT GR doesn't work. So we can't use XFree86, because our
scientists need 
~ { [ | \ ] } in their programs or in their Matlab session.

What is your solution for this problem ?

Thanks.
