dmesg log

Since I started using nouveau, nouveaufb is loaded automatically and the UTF-8
characters on my tty are messed up. I notice that while I'm going
shutdown/reboot, every accented character are strangely encoded.

I tried with AND without the kernel line parameter 'vt.default_utf8=1'. No
resolution is specified at boot. KMS is enabled, though I don't see any high
resolution before X has launched. tty is in classic VGA (80x25) then switch to
X in high and correct reso.

locale is "fr_FR.UTF-8". See the dmesg log attached.
Video card is NV40 geforce 9500GT.

I guess this is the moment where characters are messed up:
---
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48
fb0: nouveaufb frame buffer device
---

I can bring more info if needed.
