Description Michael Redinger 2001-07-06 11:31:05 UTC 
(don't really know which package this belongs to, sorry ...)

On the console, the german "umlaute" (dv| etc.) do not work correctly,
some garbage is shown instead.

The other keys seem to work fine. /etc/sysconfig/keyboard looks good,
too:
KEYTABLE="de-latin1-nodeadkeys"
Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2001-07-06 15:48:52 UTC 
Trond - is this related to the console issue you saw the other day?
Comment 2 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-07-06 15:52:38 UTC 
Yes.
Comment 3 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-07-06 15:57:48 UTC 
Actually, this is because anaconda generates a bad /etc/sysconfig/i18n - 
you're getting fonts and mappings that don't know the umlaut characters.

Fix your /etc/sysconfig/i18n, and /sbin/service keytable reload

A correct /etc/sysconfig/i18n is

LANG=[...]
SUPPORTED=[...]
SYSFONT="lat0-16"
CHARSET="8859-15"
