Localization and monitor problems on V3.3-2004-02-16

There seems to be two major problems that are preventing me from using Knoppix instead of win32... I have set the language to Polish, keyboard map to Polish, char. encoding to 8859-2, but:
- I can't see (dotted rectangles) Polish letters, I can't input them neither.

I could see Polish letters when Live-CD, they dissappeared after installing on hdd (using 'new' method)

The second problem is this one. Both problems are very very annoying :( I would really appreciate some help... Please...
