I sent this to the redhat-install-list but got no
replies. Can someone here answer it?
I have three machines that I have installed REDHAT 9.0.
Each install had in the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file: LANG="en_US.UTF-8" SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" All machines boot to runlevel 3 Two of the machines work just fine. However the third machine boots to garbled text (screen filled totally with unusual characters). Even though I cannot read the screen, I can login and startx. X looks just fine and I can go to a terminal and text looks just fine there also. I have searched the internet to try to find a solution to this problem but was not able to locate the specific issue. I suspected it might be a video card issue since the machine has a different video card in it. But reading other messages about garbled text lead me to believe it was a FONT problem. So I changed SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" to SYSFONT="fixed" just to see if it would make any difference. It worked! Text looks good now, but I do get a failure on boot when it try's to set DEFAULT FONT. Says cannot find font "fixed". Since it works, this does not appear to be a problem, but what other fonts could I put in the i18n file that would work? Thanks, Tom |
