Xmodmap again.




Hi, all.

I am trying to switch keyboard to another language.
It started from Russian. Yes, I've red Cyrillic-HOWTO. I did
the examples that it is into HOWTO. It is not work.

There are two ways discussed in HOWTO. I tryed both.
In both cases "xmodmap" show that it get commands, get new keysyms,
get new switches, but switches does not work !

Yes, I tryed that in "xterm -fn KOI-<something>" and I able to see cyrillic.

I said : "OK, I need hebrew too ! ( We in Israel, yeh ? )"
I've tryed HEBREW-HOWTO with the same success. ( Off course in hebrew xterm ).
THE SAME THING ! "xmodmap" show that everything OK. Switches OK, keycodes OK,
it still not switching to hebrew.

I tryed examples with switching between "Caps" and "Ctrl". THIS works.
But switching to second language not work.

I tryed this in RH-4.0 and Slackware96. ( Actually they have the same X11 ).

What I missed ? Where to search information on xmodmap ( "man" is not enought ).

Thank you.
