Hi,
Hetz, may I ask: does this work for you ?
I have FC8; First, I removed the keyboard switching checkbox in Gnome.
than I tried changing:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf thus:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
#Option "XkbLayout" "us+inet"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:Alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection
And restaring the X server.
It did not work.
Than I also removed the "hebrew" from keyboard preferences->Layouts.
And than restarted the X-server.
Still, when pressing "alt-shift" nothing happens. It stays English,
and scroll lock
led stays unlighted.
I do not see any errors in Xorg.0.log in both cases.
Any ideas ? Am I missing something ?
Regards,
Dan
