This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled vt: provide notifications on selection changes to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-next branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 19e3ae6b4f07a87822c1c9e7ed99d31860e701af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 17:07:21 -0500 Subject: vt: provide notifications on selection changes The vcs device's poll/fasync support relies on the vt notifier to signal changes to the screen content. Notifier invocations were missing for changes that comes through the selection interface though. Fix that. Tested with BRLTTY 5.2.
