java version "1.3.0beta_refresh"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0beta_refresh-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0beta-b07, mixed mode)


Platform: x86-architecture, Linux kernel 2.2.16 (based on RedHat 6.0 with many
updates), XFree86 3.3.5
Java: JDK 1.2.2_006 or JDK 1.3.0beta_refresh
System Enveroment:
LANG=ru
LC_ALL=ru_RU.KOI8-R
Java property:
file.encoding=KOI8-R

For cyrillic input in XFree86 used Xkb. In Xkb setted 3 keyboard layout
("US/ASCII", "KOI8-R", "Cyrillic" ). The part of file with defines of symbols
for Cyrillic 'A':
----------------- start -----------------
    key <AC04> { [ f, F ],
                        [ 0xc1, 0xe1 ],
                        [ Cyrillic_a, Cyrillic_A ] };
----------------- end -----------------
For switching keyboard layouts used ISO_Group.

For test of input used this application:

----------------- start -----------------
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;

public class ex {
  boolean packFrame = false;

  public ex() {
    ex_frame frame = new ex_frame();
    if (packFrame) {
      frame.pack();
    }
    else {
      frame.validate();
    }
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }

    new ex();
  }

  public class ex_frame extends JFrame {
    JPanel contentPane;
    GridLayout gridLayout1 = new GridLayout();
    JTextField jTextField1 = new JTextField();
    JButton jButton1 = new JButton();
    JTextField jTextField2 = new JTextField();

    public ex_frame() {
      enableEvents(AWTEvent.WINDOW_EVENT_MASK);
      try {
        jbInit();
      }
      catch(Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }

    private void jbInit() throws Exception {
      gridLayout1.setRows(2);
      contentPane = (JPanel) this.getContentPane();
      contentPane.setLayout(gridLayout1);
      jTextField1.setToolTipText("input character here");
      jTextField1.setDisabledTextColor(Color.gray);
      jTextField1.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
      jTextField1.addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter() {
  
        public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
          jTextField1_keyTyped(e);
        }
      });
      jTextField2.setToolTipText("Unicode code of input character");
      jTextField2.setEditable(false);
      jTextField2.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
      contentPane.add(jTextField1, null);
      contentPane.add(jTextField2, null);
    }

    protected void processWindowEvent(WindowEvent e) {
      super.processWindowEvent(e);
      if (e.getID() == WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING) {
        System.exit(0);
      }
    }

    void jTextField1_keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
      jTextField2.setText( Integer.toHexString( e.getKeyChar() ) );
    }
  }

}
----------------- end -----------------

In upper TextField input characters, in buttom TextFiled see Unicode code of
last input character in Hex.

For key with Cyrrilic 'A' (UNICODE code - 0x0410) we see:
in JDK 1.2.2_006
layout 1: 46 (correct for all - latin F)
layout 2: e1 (correct for KOI8-R, but incorrect for UNICODE)
layout 3: 6e1 (correct for Cyrillic_A defined in X11/keysymdef.h, but incorrect
for UNICODE - 0x06xx - arabic page)

in JDK 1.3.0beta_refresh
layout 1: 46 (correct for all - latin F)
layout 2: e1 (correct for KOI8-R, but incorrect for UNICODE)
layout 3: e1 (correct for KOI8-R, but incorrect for UNICODE)

PS: sorry for bad english.
