yes I do, and it was included in every linux distro I used since 1999.
I attach it however. It is used in Switzerland and in Luxembourg, as is 
de_CH.

Strangely it seems it is included in pxes:
/opt/pxes-0.7/stock/extra/XFree86-4.3.0/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/fr_CH
Could it be that the only problem is it's availability from pxesconfig?

ok, great :-)

In fact I meant that after finishing pxesconfig there should always be a 
configfile created that inlcudes all the settings that have been chosen 
in pxesconfig.
