Copied from http://plug.ca/article.php?story=20050729094643386 :

There has been a long standing bug in the French Canadian Keyboard layout for
Red Hat and Fedora Core systems. 
If you try to set the keyboard layout to French Canadian in Gnome Keyboard
preferences applet, you get the error:

Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.

Unfortunately, because this is considered an "upstream bug", Red Hat has
labelled the keyboard layout bug as "WONTFIX".

The missing file. Attaching for reference.

Should go in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/

Placing it there fixes the issue.

this works fine in xkeyboard-config
