--- DESCRIPTION----------------------------------------------------------------

  yaXKBuslaintl is yet another XKB US International Layout with latin
characters like diacritics and symbols and no dead-keys at first level. It's
heavy based on us_intl and latin symbols.

  Probably there is a better way to achieve the same results, maybe a proper
XKB configuration inheriting some symbols like latin with nodeakeys and using
just the vanilla xorg installation. Meanwhile I've used this layout for a while.
If you ever have had time to figure out how XKB works deeply I would appreciate
your comments.

--- INSTALL -------------------------------------------------------------------

Replace your /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us and configure xorg.conf accordingly 

--- xorg.conf

  Option    "XkbLayout"     "us"
  Option    "XkbVariant"    "laintl"
  Option    "XkbOptions"    "grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,lv3:lwin_switch"
                                  [1]                [2]             [3]

                        [1] Press both shift keys at same time
                            and you will switch between layouts
                        [2] When you switch from layouts, turn
                            on/off scroll-lock led
                        [3] Use <LWIN> key like AltGr (RALT)

--- Xorg 1.5 Note

Xorg 1.5 does not support the Xkb* options inside xorg.conf, instead it relies on HAL for language settings:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
   <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
      <merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
      <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us</merge>
      <merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string">laintl</merge>
   </match>
</deviceinfo>

--- Howto regenerate XKB symbols

 # cd /usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols
 # xkbcomp -lhlpR '*' -o ../symbols.dir
