I've done some tests. Running "setupcon" solves the problem (questions 1.1 and 1.2 of the console-setup FAQ should be merged to make this clear). Couldn't "setupcon" be run at the right time? For instance, is there a script that is run after one has switched to a console? -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
