That looks nasty.

What is your locale setting?

To what language does the 'ar' layout correspond? Is it arabic?

Yes it's arabic,

i removed the ara in xorg.conf keeping only ch layout and then i have no problem if i add the arabic layout in xkb settings.

my locale is en_US.ISO8859-2 / is the one i found to display french and arabic characters correctly.

Can you post the whole xorg.conf keyboard configuration section here, please?
