WORK!!!

this is my new XF86Config-4 

---------------------------------------------
Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier  "Default Keyboard"
    Driver      "keyboard"
    Option      "AutoRepeat"    "100 50"

# If the keyboard layout is fscked, try this
#    Option     "XkbDisable"
     Option          "XkbKeycodes"   "macintosh"
     Option          "XkbSymmbols"   "macintosh/us"
     Option          "XkbGeometry"   "macintosh"

     Option     "XkbLayout"     "us_intl"
     Option     "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:nocaps"
     Option     "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
     Option     "XkbModel"      "pc105"
#     Option     "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"

     Option          "LeftAlt"       "Meta"
     Option          "RightAlt"      "Meta"
#     Option          "ScrollLock"    "Compose"
#     Option          "RightCtl"      "Control"
EndSection
-------------------------------------------------

Now I can write this characters:

ñ  = shift+tilde n
é  = ' + e
à  = ` + a
ã  = shift+tilde a

ect.

With this layout is possible to write in Spanish Italian French and so
on.

enjoy!
