what version of initscripts are you running? $ rpm -q initscripts initscripts-3.91-1 what does your /etc/sysconfig/i18n say? the file is empty: $ ls -l /etc/sysconfig/i18n 0 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 2 20:05 /etc/sysconfig/i18n while I'd appreciate being able to display cyrillic-koi8 in the console, I find preserving the size (60x80) more important. Grumble. It shouldn't be doing that anymore.
Does /sbin/setsysfont look like the following?
#!/bin/sh
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/i18n ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig/i18n
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/setfont ]; then
if [ -n "$SYSFONT" -a -n "$UNIMAP" ]; then
/usr/bin/setfont $SYSFONT -u $UNIMAP
elif [ -n "$SYSFONT" ]; then
/usr/bin/setfont $SYSFONT
# else
# /usr/bin/setfont
fi
else
echo "can't set font"
exit 1
fi
yep, that's exactly what I have. Check through your initscripts to see if $SYSFONT is assigned somewhere else; if it isn't, it obviously shouldn't be calling setfont. at this point, I can't reproduce this here. Using recent initscripts, the console stays the same when booting with vga=ext, vga=132x43 (or whatever.) |
