I have the same problem running tinycore on my acer aspire one thought it was because of xvesa so installed xorg and still doesnt work cannot get the £ sign !! in lxterminal although xterm and beaver does let me type the £ also web browser not recognising any caracters other than letters! opera browser eg in google search it will only let me type letters no hash symbols or the infamous pound sign.
I think its related to the language settings but how do we change from the default 'C' ??
