Well, I didn't reveal that fact, so you can hardly blame yourself for not 
noticing.

X is fine, the text consoles are messed up.  Should I still try VESA?

Yeah, I started the reply on the laptop (KDE, konsole, etc) and it was a 
box, then I postponed it and resumed it on the desktop (plain XFree86, 
Xterm) and it was fine.  So konsole didn't _change_ it, just failed to 
display it properly.  I vote for a character-set or font issue.
