Found a solution, though I'm not sure *why* this happens. I tried
running xkbprint (basically just to see if I can get some error
messages about xkb, because I guessed that's where the problem is from
the logs), and got a message that it couldn't load libxkbfile.so.1
locate libxkbfile.so.1 gave me nothing, and locate libxkbfile gave
me /usr/X11R6/lib/libxkbfile.a. Looking at /usr/X11R6/lib/ I found a few
libxkbfile.so, libxkbfile.so.1 and libxkbfile.so.1.0 -- I symlinked
/usr/X11R6/lib/libxkbfile.so.1 to /lib, restarted X, and voila -- works.
What I don't understand is *why* that happend. Anyone?

I recently compiled X from CVS, and I'm having problems with Xkb. I use
both Hebrew (ISO-8859-8) English on my machine, and have the following
options on XF86Config to switch between the groups using both-shifts:
Option XkbRules xfree86
Option XkbModel pc105
Option XkbLayout us,il
Option XkbOptions
grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll
After compiling install the latest CVS I couldn't switch groups to
Hebrew, and I noticed several keys don't work well (for example I get
numbers from the keypad's arrows even when Numlock is off). I looked
XF86 log and found the following lines that has anything to do with the
keyboard:
(**) Option XkbRules xfree86
(**) XKB: rules: xfree86
(**) Option XkbModel pc105
(**) XKB: model: pc105
(**) Option XkbLayout us,il
(**) XKB: layout: us,il
(**) Option XkbOptions grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll
(**) XKB: options: grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll
(==) Keyboard: CustomKeycode disabled

(EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
(II) Server_Terminate keybinding not found
I'm guessing the last two lines signal a problem? What and where should
I look into it?
Previous compilation worked without a problem with the Hebrew/English
keymaps.
