The intent with that patch was to allow system policy to state all new VCs are UTF-8-enabled by default. I feel that in 2007 this should be the default setting. Would it therefore be possible to have vc->vc_utf =3D some_default; where some_default comes maybe from a sysctl or some other configurable source? Or maybe even have a compiletime option? This would get around many bugs. For example, on boot, "unicode_start" can only set utf8 mode on the existing VCs 1 to 6. If X11 fails to start, debian nicely runs me the XKeepsCrashing program, which offers to show me logs and the like. It reads the locale, en_GB.UTF-8 and determines we're in UTF-8 mode, so outputs Unicode linedrawing characters for dialogs. Unfortunately, we're on VC7 which doesn't have UTF-8 mode turned on, so much mess results. It would be nice if the kernel's default UTF-8 mode for new VCs could be synched to whatever local policy was regarding locale. --=20 Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/
