You have probably forgotten to set the locale related stuff correctly in

Nothing at all. Though, I never did fiddle with locales before the upgrade either. In KDE I have configured the locale as Swedish, and the date, currency and those things look ok.

This is probably what's causing you trouble.

FWIW, using the XKB input extension here, I noticed that the X server
fails to get/output any 8-bit character until I correctly set my
environment in the login shell or my ``.xinitrc'' file.

For instance, for Greek text input, I use:

Thanks! I'll try to set some locale settings in my .xinitrc and see if that solves anything. I don't use xorg, since I have been using XFree86 since the early 1990-ies and don't want to learn it all over again. Maybe that's what troubling my setup.

Now I'll just wait for another long compile, and then shut down X and try this out.
