Sorry for replying to my own post but I found
the solution (for English keyboards):

=================================================
Using non ASCII standard characters under X11
=================================================

Keyboard Configuration:

Option "XkbLayout" "en_US"

=================================================

Possible combinations:

Alt + <char>
Shift + Alt + <char>
Shift, Alt + <char>

Notes:

The Alt to be pressed is the right one.

The string <char> has to be replaced with a key,
with or without Shift.

Alt + <char> means to press and hold the Alt key
and then press <char>.

Shift + Alt + <char> means to press and hold the
Shift key, press and hold the
Alt key, and press <char>.

Shift, Alt + <char> means to press and hold the
Shift key, press and hold the Alt key, release
the Shift key and press <char>.

=================================================

Some common characters:

á	Shift, Alt + ', <char>
â	Alt + ', <char>
ä	Shift + Alt + ', <char>
à	Shift, Alt + `, <char>
ã	Shift + Alt + `, <char>
ñ	Shift + Alt + `, <char>

=================================================
