You don't need to install and uninstall something only because the keyboard don't play according to your needs. > My question is:<br> > The problem that I have is located in Xfree86 or in Kernel.<br> > I was looking for some information and I found two Xmodmap files, one in > my home directory, and another one in the system directory.

I personally use XkbLayout "us" and I put the customization in my home directory. If you think that you can't do that give me more details about your keyboards and I will make the configuration files for you. I need to know the number of keys (101, 104, 105) and where you want extra symbols, like that: n~ and N~ over n, N; o- and a- over Tab, Tab; i' and I' over i, I; etc. Also what key you want to generate the AltGr (Mode_switch). I assume a qwerty keyboard. If there are small changes to do, for instance to simply add icircumflex over the y key, then you may type xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1D = y Y icircumflex" or xmodmap -e "keycode 0x1D = y Y icircumflex Icircumflex" If you need my help I would appreciate also the output of the xmodmap -pk. The name of the keys is not always suggestive. ordmasculine you obtain with "masculine" or with "0x00ba", while ordfeminine you obtain with "ordfeminine" or with "0x00aa".
