From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020809

Description of problem:
at startup (or when running manually) keytable that runs setsysfont
i have an error like:
]# setsysfont
putfont: PIO_FONT: Invalid argument


when tracing it, i suppose this is due because there's no
/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo
or
/usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo

(i suppose this, because of the strace, the error happens in the child just
after trying to open both files); maybe this is a setsysfont error, not glibc? ;)

en libc.mo is really not needed, the messages are in english already ;)
The problem is elsewhere:
[pid 19692] ioctl(7, 0x4b61, 0x8056d00) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
which means it is either setfont bug, or kernel bug when handling PIO_PUTFONT
ioctl, or you're running this on terminal which doesn't support changing of
fonts...

ok forget about this

on the following reboot it went allright *g*

my system is beginning to act weirdly (i had gcc segfaulting, and X crashing today)

i suppose some of my hardware is failing can't find what atm
:/
