There used to by the intl XkbLayout.  I would have an InputDevice stanza
for the keyboard like the following:


Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc102"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "intl"
EndSection


On an Thinkpad laptop this would give me Multi-key on the R-Alt key

It seems like this has disappeared in recent versions of Xorg and
unfortunately I can't find any mention of it in accompanying docs.

Hi,

this layout was equivalent to
         Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
         Option          "XkbOption"     "compose:ralt"
There are already 2 intl variants (intl and alt-intl) of the "us"
layout, so it is probably not a good idea to add another one which
can be obtained easily.  I am thus closing this bug, thanks for
your report.

Denis
