Any suggestions?
I recall running into this problem a while ago, I think when XFree86
4.3 came out. Are you using that hebrew-phonetic xkbmap file you
created a few years ago?
I seem to recall having to modify it slightly. Have a look at this
snippet, and see whether yours matches, and whether changing it to
match mine helps:
xkb_keymap "hebrew" {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compatibility { include "complete+group_led" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
