Hi Klaus,
Yes I am using a nvidia card and yes "sudo chvt 1" works.
Once in console 1, Ctrl + Alt + 5 alows me to go back to the UI.
What could have changed between the previous beta and this release ?
What did you end up using to fix the localization ?
Thanks for the tip.
Best Regards,
Gilles
Is it related to your add-on (below) to the knoppix-autoconfig script ?
==================================================
# Need to add keyboard settings to debian's own config (HAL)
if [ -r /etc/default/console-setup ]; then
if [ -n "$XKEYBOARD" ]; then
sed -i -e "s|^XKBLAYOUT=.*\$|XKBLAYOUT=\"$XKEYBOARD\"|g" /etc/default/console-setup
case "$XKEYBOARD" in de*)
sed -i -e "s|^XKBVARIANT=.*\$|XKBVARIANT=\"nodeadkeys\"|g" /etc/default/console-setup
;;
esac

I'm not aware of having changed the X-Servers setting between these
versions. Does "sudo chvt 1" work for you?
The only reason I could think of why this happens is that the chipset
has a broken framebuffer handling (NVidia cards?) and for this reason,
ChangeVT is automatically disabled.
