For multilingual settings I'm using US Layout, and I have additional option in
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:lwin"
EndSection
It works just fine, considering that I've laptop without 104 keys. And
I can write
in every Latin based alphabet. And I have to write in polish. Here is table for
of compose keys: http://www.hermit.org/Linux/ComposeKeys.html
On wiki you can (?) read about it. Though if you have to write only in German
"de" layout should suffice.
May The Source be with you.
