The patch titled vt: expose system-wide UTF-8 default setting via sysfs has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is vt-expose-system-wide-utf-8-default-setting-via-sysfs.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: vt: expose system-wide UTF-8 default setting via sysfs From: "Antonino A. Daplas" <adaplas@xxxxxxxxx> Create a variable, default_utf8, that defines the system-wide default UTF-8 setting. This variable can be altered via sysfs. If the variable is properly set, this should mimimize breakage of UTF-8 encoded consoles when doing a reset or echo -e '\033c' and of newly opened/allocated consoles. This is based from patches by Jan Engelhardt and Paul LeoNerd Evans.
