Wysocki, bugme-daemon, Jan Engelhardt, Samuel Thibault This isn't a regression. It's an intentional default change. The default console mode changed from 8-bit legacy to UTF-8 in 2.6.24. Apparently this user is using a legacy character set (note that it's a Slackware machine), and isn't explicitly setting the character set via the appropriate escape sequence. The new default can be overridden via /sys/module/vt/parameters/default_utf8 or something like that... -hpa Andrew Morton wrote: >> On Wed, 7 Nov 2007 13:19:16 -0800 (PST) bugme-daemon@bugzilla.kernel.org wrote: >> http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9319 >> >> Summary: National characters are not displayed under console. >> Product: Drivers >> Version: 2.5 >> KernelVersion: 2.6.24-rcX >> Platform: All >> OS/Version: Linux >> Tree: Mainline >> Status: NEW >> Severity: normal >> Priority: P1 >> Component: Console/Framebuffers >> AssignedTo: jsimmons@infradead.org >> ReportedBy: hannibal@astral.lodz.pl >> >> >> Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.23 >> >> Distribution: Slackware >> >> Hardware Environment: >> Toshiba Tecra M1 >> Pentium M 1.6 512MB RAM, ICH4-M chipset, Trident CyberBlade XP4 video card >> >> Software Environment: Slackware-current (kbd-1.12, glibs 2.5) >> >> Problem Description: >> The national characters like "ą", "ł" or "ż" are not displayed corectlly >> under console (no matter vesa framebuffer, or standard vga).
