I already wrote something about it in comments to your Bugzilla report.
AltGr key means a key that switches a keyboard to 'alternative group' (or
alternative keyboard sub-map). But actually to make any key such 'alt group
switcher' one need to tie a special keysym Mode_switch to that key.
By default there is not key with such keysym in "us_intl" map and RightAlt key
is just right Alt (the same as left Alt) key.
"XKB options" allow to add to 'main' keyboard map some small sub-map. In our
case the option "grp:switch" adds to your us_intl map a small submap with one
key only which means
"bind Mode_switch to RightAlt key"
There also are options that can bind Mode_switch to LeftAlt key or to one of
Win keys (thus those keys become AltGr key).
And finaly a quotation from my comment to bug #269:
> You have a choice:
> Option "XkbOptions" "grp:switch" - AltGr is Right Alt
> Option "XkbOptions" "grp:lswitch" - AltGr is Left Alt
> and if your keyboard has "MS Windows keys"
> Option "XkbOptions" "grp:rwin_switch" - AltGr is Right Win-key
> Option "XkbOptions" "grp:lwin_switch" - AltGr is Left Win-key
> Option "XkbOptions" "grp:win_switch" - Both Win-keys act as AltGr
I think you guess they are strings for XF86Config.
