From 042f10ec6533e53181284c96d22ae051e49ac707 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Antonino A. Daplas" Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 00:38:09 -0700 Subject: vt: expose system-wide UTF-8 default setting via sysfs 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. Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas Cc: Jan Engelhardt Cc: Paul LeoNerd Evans Cc: "H.
