Strange. I thought the us_intl keyboard had been removed from Debian years ago. Nowadays you use the us keyboard with the alt-intl /keyboard variant/.
It seems that many Debian users (including members of this list) are not aware of the glorious Unix "Compose Key". You press Compose, and then some other characters, and magically a character is produced which is a kind of "graphical combination" of those characters. So a c-cedilla (ç) is made by Compose, comma, c. A German "double s" (ß) by means of Compose, s, s. A British pound (currency) sign (₤) by Compose, L, =. Etcetera, etcetera; hundreds of such combinations are pre-defined, and you can also define your own. Now where is the Compose key? I /think/ the Debian default is: the right "windows" key is Compose (but I am not sure; it's been ages since I set up a Debian system from scratch). In any case the position of the Compose key can be specified through the GUI on Gnome/Ubuntu and KDE. If you have no Compose key defined, you can also set it by specifying in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, in the keyboard section: Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin" See also http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/stestu.html#T6.1 Regards, Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
