No takers, so here´s a bit more information:
hal-0.5.11_21
xorg-7.4
xorg-server-1.5.3_7,1
en_GB keyboard
No xorg.conf file, no hal policies installed. All of `¨^ (back tic,
double quotes, caret, single quotes, tilde) need two key presses to appear
in a terminal. The same happens in vi except that double quotes creates
\xc2\xa8, and single quote creates \xc2\xb, effectively rendering them
useless. The UK pound sign works fine now £, and the output of
setxkbmap -print is
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+gb(intl)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
Xorg.0.log records the keyboard as US, so I don´t understad how exactly
hal and xorg interact here.

How can I get the diacritics to work?
