I believe the config of your X server has disabled dead-keys. I strongly
recommend you to use a true Linux distro, with tradition and
experience. Most of them allow you to properly setup keyboard even
starting with installation.

Anyways, look in your X server config (normally found in
/etc/X11/XF86Config) and search for a line that looks like:

    XkbVariant  "nodeadkeys"

It there is one, comment it out (put a '#' in front of it) and save the
file.

Hope this helps
