I have it attatched since it is pretty small, but you can get it from the kde
cvs at "http://www.arabeyes.org/cvsweb/projects/external/xkb/"; Hopefully the
next version of XFree86 will have this file by default. Also, one thing I
forgot to put in the Howto was that you need to add the line:
ar Arabic
in the file "/etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst"
Hope this helps.
