6 I have no experience with gnome so can't help you there. To get the us
7 international keryborad layout now you should be able to do:
8
9 # setxkbmap us_intl
10
11 To get it permanently you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and find the XkbLayout
12 Option in the InputDevice section that relates to your keyboard:
13
14 Section "InputDevice"
15 Identifier "???"
16 Driver "kbd"
17 [...]
18 Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl"
19 EndSection
