I tried it--it worked great.

I had to add en extra, blank '-option' to remove my original
(non-working) options.

Does this apply to the console keymap? This one is different from the

What version of XFree do you use?

XFree >= 4.0.3 should have a proper 'il' Hebrew keymap.

In what program do you try to type Hebrew?

Try running:

  setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll il

now hold the right alt pressed and see if the scroll-lock led turns on.
Ditto for pressing both shifts.
