I propose to extend "CYRILLIC AT RUN-TIME" section of README.Debian
with another possible solution to "console is broken after switching
back from X" problem. Example text follows below, (the old contents
is mostly intact except for minor fix at the end of the first sentence).
-- begin --
4. CYRILLIC AT RUN-TIME
Very often when you switch to X Window and back to Linux console the
Cyrillic on console becomes broken. Actually this depends on the
videocard and the X server you use. For most videocards it is better to
setup Cyrillic before the X server is started. This package allows you
this. To reconfigure it use the command
dpkg-reconfigure console-cyrillic
Other chipsets might require specific video driver options in order to
restore all console settings correctly. For example, if you selected any
font size other than 16 for console, it is necessary to add the
following line into "Device" section of xorg.conf when using i810 driver
with some integrated graphics controllers:
Option "VBERestore" "true"
Please, read 'man i810' (or 'man <your driver name>') for additional
information and, more importantly, for warnings on using the options.
-- end --
Probably it also makes sense to add a pointer to this section on
dpkg-reconfigure page for font size configuration.
