Its great to be using the debian-installer for kFreeBSD. The initial boot menu says Install Debian GNU/kFreeBSD 32 bits but the normal term is 32 bit. In the install menus the first character isn't highlighted when the item is selected. In the task select I selected the Graphical desktop environment but this didn't result in a graphical desktop environment after install. xorg was installed but only a few bits of GNOME were. I suspect this is because currently 'apt-get install gnome' gives Package gnome is not available, but is referred to by another package.. Running startx gave a black screen. Installed XFCE4 which runs fine. xorg runs correctly without the need for an xorg.conf file. Despite choosing UK keyboard on install still had to do 'dpkg-reconfigure kbdcontrol' and choose 'uk.iso.kbd' to get correct keymap on console and X. In a ttyv, the menus for 'dpkg-reconfigure kbdcontrol' and 'tasksel' have ugly window decoration as if the wrong characters have been chosen and the menu items shift left on first selection. The '-k' of 'lspci -knn' doesn't work. I guess this is a Linux only option.

Bug#561008: console-setup: approximations for 'toilet -f future' symbols look different before and after X
On Tue, 15 Dec 2009 20:45:35 +0200 Anton Zinoviev wrote: On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 11:01:38PM +0100, Francesco Poli wrote: [...] I had tried with 'showcfont', but I thought it didn't do what you wanted. Instead of telling me the name of the used font (as I expected), it wrote a complete table with all the gliphs and codes. Well, I am not able to be sure the font has not changed, just by looking at this table! Yes, if the font is the same you can not be sure that it has not changed but sometimes if it has changed you can be sure that it has changed. :) In your case the font has not changed, so there is no need of more tests. OK... I suppose that only the horizontal lines are broken (the vertical are OK)? Bingo! You guessed! Then it seems this bug must be reassigned to some of the x server video drivers. What is the type of your videocard? I took a look at the different boxes I administer: I experience this problem on two machines with Intel integrated graphics (driver xserver-xorg-video-intel/2:2.9.1-1), but *not* on an old laptop with an S3 ProSavage KN133 integrated graphics chip (driver xserver-xorg-video-savage/1:2.3.0-1). It seems that this issue is intel-graphics-specific. Can you attach the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log Do you need a log file that was updated during the [Ctrl+Alt+F1] switch? Or just a simple log file, as it is as soon I open an X session? What happens if you don't use Ctrl+Alt+F1 but rather exit X the normal way? I experience the same bug, after closing my Fluxbox session the usual way. In order to work with 9x16 and 9x14 fonts the video card does a magic: for some of the symbols (the pseudographic symbols) it uses the 8-th bit in each line as 9-th bit. This magic is due to the fact that even the most modern cards are emulating the old VGA hardware that was developed 20 years ago when only the 8-bit technologies were cheap. Somehow X leaves the videocard in a mode when it doesn't use the 8-th bit as 9-th and leaves the 9-th bit empty. Hence, it seems that this bug should be fixed in xserver-xorg-video-intel. If this is the case, I think the bug report should be reassigned to package xserver-xorg-video-intel, version 2:2.9.1-1 . As far as lat1u-16 is concerned, please note that it has always had this problem (broken horizontal lines): that's why I labeled it as a compromise solution. I suppose this was because of the way this font was loaded. I think if you put FONT='lat1u-08.psf.gz' in /etc/default/console-setup the lines will not be broken. I've just tried with FONT='lat1u-08.psf.gz' in /etc/default/console-setup, and then with FONT='lat1u-16.psf.gz' . I see horizontally broken pseudo-graphic symbols with both of them. If you start using framebuffer all lines will display correctly but the console will use 8x16 and 8x14 fonts instead of 9x16 and 9x14. I don't know how the problem you are experiencing can be fixed in the regular text mode. I am quite ignorant about framebuffer consoles (and about framebuffer in general, for that matter...). What are the pros and cons of a framebuffer console? Is it difficult to configure the system so that it uses a framebuffer console? -- New location for my website!
