Your keymap might have changed.

You can set it back correctly using the following HOWTO:

The following snippet from my .xsession file might give you a hint:

setxkbmap -option \
    -option lv3:ralt_switch_multikey \
    -option ctrl:ctrl_aa -option caps:ctrl_modifier \
    -option keypad:legacy -option kpdl:dotoss


The final -option gives me a dot instead of a comma on the keypad.

Thank you for your answer, but I have just got
the solution:

In  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf I have:


Section "InputClass"
         Identifier      "keyboard"
         Driver          "evdev"
         Option          "XkbLayout" "fr"
         Option          "XkbModel" "pc105"
         Option          "XkbOptions" "compose:lwin,kpdl:dot"
         MatchIsKeyboard "on"

kpdl:dot  was the key to solve my problem
