I was unable to replicate this problem in our test lab. I tried again with starbuck's xconsole, and it's the same. Here's a simple test case, please try it out: echo -e 'a\na1i3\nb' > /dev/console shows: a a13 b note that 1 and 3 are not supposed to touch one another. In case this should make a difference: moremagic:~$ echo $LC_ALL fr_FR moremagic:~$ echo $LANG fr If you tell me this also works for you, I'll drop the case, and assume something is broken on my side. Ok, I tried again on a straight 6.0 install and the problem is really there, I'm not sure why dkl wasn't able to reproduce the bug. I simply did: - startx (gdm is broken and doesn't chown the console to the user who logs in, so xconsole can't work. That's a separate problem though) - launch xconsole - echo ripertoire >/dev/console What shows up on the xconsole is rpertoire... Confirmed in test lab with XFree86-3.3.3.1-52 This will be fixed in the next release of XFree86. |
