Here is the relevant part from my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver     "kbd"
    Option    "CoreKeyboard"
    Option    "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option    "XkbModel" "pc104"
    Option    "XkbLayout" "us,hu,tr"
    Option    "XkbVariant" "altgr-intl,102_qwerty_dot_nodead,intl"
EndSection

The interesting part is 'altgr-intl'. Editing your xorg.conf may not be
necessary if you (all your users) use a single desktop environment, for
example, Gnome. Just select the altgr-intl variant in the keyboard
layout dialog.
