Under RH8 I had Hebrew working just fine on my machine. I was using KDE's keyboard layout. I just upgraded to RH9 (with KDE 3.1.2), and now it doesn't work.
I discovered from http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kde-il/message/206 that the keyboard configuration under RH9 "seems completely broken". So, I tried using the suggested Xkb workaround - /usr/X11R6/bin/setxkbmap -compat "group_led" -symbols \ "us(pc101)+il+group(alt_shift_toggle)+group(switch)" 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. I am unable to get Hebrew input in the window from the remote machine. To be completely clear: If I telnet to the remote machine, and then create another window displayed on my machine, and then switch to Hebrew, I get Hebrew in the telnet session, but no Hebrew in the remotely displayed window. 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). Is there some setxkbmap option I need to know about ? Is there some logical explanation for what is going on ? Can anyone help me ?
