Title:
Charset is not set correctly in VGA text-mode
Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The charset (and special characters) are not displayed correctly in
VGA text-mode while usplash is running. There was a bug report #21567
in which Michael Vogt already described the problem.:
'The kernel just refuses it in drivers/char/vt.c:con_font_set(). But that
seems
to be because the vga text-mode uses parts of it's video memory to store the
fontmap. That can't work when in graphic mode obviously. I don't know why
the
kernel doesn't store the fontmap for the next switch to text-mode. It looks
like
it keeps a copy in kernel memory anyway'
This bug still exists in Feisty. As the vga text-mode is currently
still the default mode in Ubuntu, it should affect nearly everybody
until he/she changes the console screen mode.
