Too bad XFree86 are doing these backward-incompatible changes... I also fail to see the reasoning behind this change. Any Israeli keyboard has both Hebrew and Latin (ASCII) characters on it - there's nothing "US" (American) about this keyboard, except the fact that ASCII was indeed invented in America... All Hebrew keyboards I ever saw in Israel where in this so-called "us,il" configuration. I think that the new, latin-character-less, keyboard, should probably be renamed to "he", or at least "he-il", because the name "il" doesn't seem appropriate for it any more. Oh, well... I pitty all the newbies that will have to tackle this problem when upgrading their Hebrew-supporting Linux system. I hope that at least KDE and Gnome will know to set this up correctly when told that the person has an "Israeli" keyboard. -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, Mar 20 2003, 16 Adar II 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Why do doctors call what they do http://nadav.harel.org.il |practice?
