Thanks for your quick answer.
So, there's no other way to use an international keyboard unless I run
Xmodmap? The problem is that I need to set the keyboard of a remote X
server, hence the setxkbmap.
If it's not too much trouble, can you tell me how did you do the
manouver you wrote above? I'm quite fresh regarding to MacOS and I'm
afraid to damage something in the process.
Thanks.
Adilson.
