hi !

don't know wether i got your problem right;
i've got a us-keyboard, and all settings on my box are
the default/us- ones.

sometimes i want to use european special-characters,
i can achieve that with the right control-key; this one
emulates the sun(?) compose-key.

** works only with X for me !! ****

in /etc/Xf86config:

Section "Keyboard"

    Protocol    "Standard"
    AutoRepeat  500 5
    LeftAlt     Meta
    RightAlt    ModeShift
    RightCtl    Compose
#    ScrollLock  ModeLock
    XkbDisable
#    XkbLayout   "de"
    XkbKeymap   "xfree86(us)"

EndSection



now i press... 
1: [compose] 
2: release [compose]
3: ":" [Shift+']
4: aou

and get.. (hope it arrives healthy ;-) )

with a:  �
with o:  �
with u:  �

with e:  � ( for that funny french cars.. )

the german sharp s '�'
can be obtained with compose, ss

hope it helps !

Gruss / with best regards
