Greetins,
I had posted a few days back asking help for the Garbled text in RH 8.0, I have found that by following these two simple things the quality of the output of the console can be incresed.
1. Setting LANG="en_US" in /etc/sysconfig/i18n (Defaults to en_US.UTF-8).
2. Using frame buffer mode for the console. I used vga=789 as a parameter to my kernel to accomplish this.
Bye.
