You have to select layout us, variant intl (or alt-intl)

Bonjour Dennis,

1) my setup was working, upgrading to 7.0 corrupted the setup; likely to happen
   to all who'll upgrade

2) Not sure what you mean here, below part from my xorg.conf file:

Section "InputDevice"
     51         Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
     52         Driver          "kbd"
     53         Option          "CoreKeyboard"
     54         Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
     55         Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
     56         Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
     57         Option          "XkbVariant"    "intl"
     58 EndSection
     59

still I get:

luc@mestreech:~$ setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us -variant intl -v 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
