Package: console-setup Version: 1.51 I can confirm this bug in an Intel graphics card, using xserver-xorg-video- intel driver. I need to run dpkg-reconfigure console-setup or setupcon each time I log into tty session. I remember that this was a tipical bug in Ubuntu some releases ago, now it is not present in the current Ubuntu stable (karmic).
A workaround about it is to add setupcon command to your ~/.bashrc in a new line. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 Debian Release: squeeze/sid 500 testing security.debian.org 500 testing oktan.ls.fi.upm.es 500 testing ftp.fr.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =====================================-+-=========== debconf (>= 0.5) | 1.5.28 OR debconf-2.0 | console-terminus (>= 4.26) | 4.30-2 xkb-data (>= 0.9) | 1.7-2 keyboard-configuration | 1.51 Recommends (Version) | Installed =================================-+-================ kbd (>= 0.99-12) | 1.15.1-2 OR console-tools (>= 1:0.2.3-16) | Suggests (Version) | Installed =======================-+-=========== lsb-base (>= 3.0-6) | 3.2-23 locales | 2.10.2-2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
