Hello,
I have recently installed BSD/OS with patches and now the problem I cannot
resolve arises with national keyboards under Xaccel 1.2. The thing is
that I cannot find a way to switch mode, the Alt_R only shifts it, i.e.
I want to press and release mode_switch key once and then type in Russian,
the press it again and go back to English.

As now, I can only type in Russian if I hold the right alt with my right
elbow.


So, is ther a way to establish usable mode map under Xaccel 1.2? Was it
possible to do it under Xaccel < 1.2 (I didn't have a chance to try)?

Unfortunately, XFree servers simply hang my machine.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
