Noone of them gave me german umlauts on consoles 8 through 12 (like I do have them on console 1 through 6). >> BTW: I have no idea which program uses /etc/console-tools/config and >> where it is called in the boot process and under which name. > It looks like it's /etc/rcS.d/S48console-screen.sh. Yes I had seen this one, but I thought it would only be called in single user mode. There is no such link in the other /etc/rcS.n directories. Probably I do not understand that right. > It might also be a good idea to do "dpkg-reconfigure locales"; that > might set up your consoles for your default locale.

I press the key right of 'l' which gives me 'ö' on consoles 1 through 6 but garbage on 8-12. Robert Epprecht
