Sylvain,
Those sections don't pretend that we don't have XF86Config support, they
simply have not been updated since 2002-05-26.
The XF86Config support should be generic to XFree86, right? So we could
probably point to the XFree86 documentation for XF86Config. However, I
hesitate to do this myself because I really struggle trying to write
documentation for things that I cannot test out on my own. It is very
difficult to write when you have no idea what you are writing about and
cannot verify that it works for yourself. Thus, I would appreciate it
if someone would send a patch against the current documentation source
with updates for XF86Config. In the worst case, I would appreciate it
if someone would write a paragraph or two (complete with some links to
other documentation) that described what users with non-US keyboards
should do. I can handle marking that text up to DocBook, but writing it
on my own will probably continue to be put off.
I am sorry, but I really don't feel qualified to write documentation for
non-US keyboard users.

Reading two last posts about keyboard,
I see that docu about XF86Config is not online.
In fact the relevant section pretends we dont have an XF86Config at
all.
