Hello,

so you would like a us international keyboard layout ?  Ok, you should
check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and you should find a line that is like
this one:

Option          "XkbLayout"

After XkbLayout is the name of the layout you are currently using. For
the us international you should use:

Option          "XkbLayout"   "us_intl"

Remember to restart the graphical environment after the change. I hope
this will help you.


Best regards,
Sergio Cuellar
