What X server do you use? Note: setxkbmap does not compile a keyboard map locally. It sends a keyboard map description to the server and the server will compile a keyboard map. Assuming that te X server is indeed the RH9, the above is broken: setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,grp:switch \ -model pc101 us,il (BW: don't you have a 104-keys keyboard? You should probably use '-model pc104'.) > > That worked fine (I can switch back and forth between Hebrew and > English), except for the thing I need it for most: > > I need to run an application on a remote (VMS) machine, displaying on my > machine, which needs Hebrew input.

Are you "unable to type" or is it displayed incorrectly? > This was working fine under RH8, and in fact if I use KDE's broken > keyboard utility under RH9 I do get Hebrew in the remotely displayed > window (just can't get back to English, since it's broken). Can you type Hebrew in , say, evolution? (1.2, from your distro) or in any gtk 1.2 program? Or in xedit?
