Re: Arabic Keymap!

[Isam Bayazidi <bayazidi at arabeyes dot org>]

Salam Hayder ..
  Well I Just checked the xfree86 CVS and it seems that the Arabic Keymap fix 
was included in the XFREE86 4.2 release ..
The onlt files we changed in the Xfree86 CVS in :

xc/programs/xkbcomp/
There is 3 files in this directory that got changed to fix the Arabic issue ..

There is known probelm for the currect keymap that is the one key for complex 
letter does not work .. like the 'B' key will do a LAM_ALEF at once .. that 
does not work in the xfree86 keymap .. but offcouse you can enter an LAM_ALEF 
with enterig the 2 keys LAM and ALEF (G and H) ..

I asked the xfree86 people about making the key return 2 values and they 
didn't help much .. I will try to get it fix ASAP ( in this week) ..

And to include that Fix will will have to get the xc/programs/xkbcomp from 
thier CVS as soon as they incude it .. or I can send you a PATCH for the 
Xfree86 4.2 to fix the complex letters keys issue ..
