Setting console/keyboard for pt language

[Paulo]

Hi!

I am running 7.04/amd64

I have a problem to have the console/keyboard (real ones, not the kde) properly displaying portuguese chars.

I changed /etc/console-tools/config for lat9w-16.
I used the system-settings to turn to "yes" the starting services for console-setup.
# ls -l rc*/S*console-setup
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2007-04-26 01:14 rc2.d/S50console-setup -> ../init.d/console-setup
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2007-04-22 05:31 rcS.d/S49console-setup -> ../init.d/console-setup

If I manually run "/etc/init.d/console-setup restart" the console works fine.
If I reboot, it returns to the previous state.
Apparently /etc/init.d/console-setup does not get executed during the boot process or its execution does not succeed!

If I stop kdm the console also returns to its original mode!

I also tried to disable kdm from starting during the boot but still no success.

I think this has something to do with the boot splash/framebuffer thing because if I start in safe mode the console gets well configured.

Thanks for any help.
