I see; you can use the very same iso and boot using "install DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt" and eventually append also "priority=medium" > BTW, I can help debugging that VT issue if you tell me where > I shall look into. well, it's not yet clear what is going on; I've noticed the following : when loading the keymap using the graphical frontend, you get the following warnings: INFO: kbd_chooser: setting keymap fr-latin9 WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 cedilla WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 acute WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 diaeresis WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 brokenbar WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 threequarters WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 currency WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 onehalf WARNING **: : assuming iso-8859-1 onequarter and those are printed only if kbd_mode is different from "3" (K_UNICODE, from <linux/kd.h>); using some extra logs I noticed that kbd_mode is "2" (K_MEDIUMRAW) when running the graphical frontend and looking at the directfb sources (inputdrivers/keyboard/keyboard.c) if (ioctl( dfb_fbdev->vt->fd, KDSKBMODE, K_MEDIUMRAW ) < 0) { D_PERROR( "DirectFB/Keyboard: K_MEDIUMRAW failed!\n" ); ... info->desc.max_keycode = 127; I've tried to change that into K_UNICODE and s/127/255/ the warnings disappear, but I can't get the accented letters I get on VT2 (for example "["+"e" give me "ê" when I use fr-latin9 on my italian keyboard) regards, Davide
