How to enable deadkeys? [solved]

I've searched the wiki and this forum, but the only thing I can find are tutorials how tot shut it down

My main question is: "How to enable deadkeys?"

What do I use:
- Archlinux
- Gnome
- Xorg
- Logitech UltraX

Some background info:
#locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Configuration files:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Keyboard0"
    Driver      "kbd"
EndSection

I probly have to add something to the xorg.conf, but don't know what.

I see, well I've read the problems. Add some thingies to my Xorg. Now, I've got the following config:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier      "Keyboard0"
    Driver          "kbd"
    Option        "XkbRules"    "xorg" ### Xorg is what I use
    Option        "XkbModel"    "logiultrax" ### My keyboard
    Option        "XkbLayout"    "us" ### The language
    Option        "Xkb_symbols"    "intl" ### For the deadkeys I guess?
EndSection

Well, gnome is giving me a message that the keyboard layout has changed and what I want to do. I choose to use the xorg configuration. But still I don't have deadkeys

Try:

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier     "Keyboard0"
   Driver         "kbd"
   Option      "XkbRules"   "xorg" ### Xorg is what I use
   Option      "XkbModel"   "logiultrax" ### My keyboard
   Option      "XkbLayout"   "us" ### The language
   Option      "XkbVariant"   "intl" ### For the deadkeys I guess?

Section "InputDevice"
#Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "CoreKeyboard"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "gb"
#Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection
