Howdy all, A couple of weeks ago, my video card was damaged and, as a temporary replacement, I'm using an old S3 card in console mode. This is going fine, and I've been quite surprised at how well I can get along without X. Anyhow, a couple of days ago I started experiencing some console weirdness. It started with mutt; all the line drawing (>127 ASCII) characters got messed up leaving my index with just '>' characters in front of each message and no threading. It is now affecting the line drawings in aptitude as well. Of course, like all good bugs, it's intermittent and I haven't been able to establish any list of steps to bring it about. I'm fairly sure it started just after an apt-get dist-upgrade a few days ago, where linuxlogo was updated to it's new fan-doozy Linux/Penguin logo. Another possibility is keychain, which moved it's ssh-agent file and caused trouble on login until I updated my .bash_profile. Neither of those make much sense to me, but they're all I can think of. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Or know how I could narrow down the problem? -rob
