Summary: National characters are not displayed under console.
Product: Drivers
Version: 2.5
KernelVersion: 2.6.24-rcX
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: Console/Framebuffers
AssignedTo: jsimmons@infradead.org
ReportedBy: hannibal@astral.lodz.pl
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.23
Distribution: Slackware
Hardware Environment:
Toshiba Tecra M1
Pentium M 1.6 512MB RAM, ICH4-M chipset, Trident CyberBlade XP4 video card
Software Environment: Slackware-current (kbd-1.12, glibs 2.5)
Problem Description:
The national characters like "ą", "ł" or "ż" are not displayed corectlly
under console (no matter vesa framebuffer, or standard vga). Instead of them
"?" on strange background is displayed. Problem begins on 2.6.24-rc1 and
continues on 2.6.24-rc2. On 2.6.23 everything is OK.

Run 2.6.24-rcX kernel and set national console font by setfont.

This isn't a regression. It's an intentional default change.
The default console mode changed from 8-bit legacy to UTF-8 in 2.6.24.
Apparently this user is using a legacy character set (note that it's a
Slackware machine), and isn't explicitly setting the character set via
the appropriate escape sequence.
The new default can be overridden via
/sys/module/vt/parameters/default_utf8 or something like that...
