Hi, It seems that setting XKEYBOARD to "il" is sensible only when you are using X to switch ketboards and not using th KDE keyboard app. switching keyboards using X is done by adding a line : Option "XkbOptions" "grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle" to your XF86Config-4 file. however, if you are using this method, you shouldn't be using the KDE way anymore and should use apps like kkbswitch. > I'm not sure exactly what KDEKEYBOARD is for.

The kde app in knoppix3.3 have some other issues, like the annoying problem ctrl+alt+k that can switch only to hebrew but not back. some ppl seem to have solved it by defining an alternate key of ctrl+alt+LAMED which sound like a silly solusion to me and does not work for all versions. > Also: any idea why the default locales package that comes with knoppix > does not create he_IL.UTF-8 (it does create a he_IL of charset > ISO-8859-8 , and quite a few UTF-8 locales). /etc/locales.gen seems to > be auto-generated. is it ? i thought it was generated only by the package itself like: #dpkg-reconfigure locales Regards, Shlomi Loubaton. ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
