Thanks for offerint to help.  Here are some questions:

Can you check the output of the 'locale' command on tty1 and tty2?

Are you able to type accents after 'cat >/dev/null'?

Which of the following packages are installed and what version: 'kbd', 
'console-tools', 'console-data' and 'console-tools'?

It will be of a great help if you can send some of your configuration 
files by using the following command:

tar zcf /tmp/locale-bug.tar.gz `ls -d /etc/default/*console* /etc/default/*kbd* /etc/init.d/*console* /etc/init.d/*kbd* /etc/*kbd* /etc/*console*`
