And the way I see it, it got merged. Commit 042f10ec6533e53181284c96d22ae051e49ac707 As I further see it, this CONFIG_VT_UNICODE patch defines the starting value for the default. E.g. CONFIG_VT_UNICODE=y, you start with utf8, and can, at will, at runtime, change it. CONFIG_VT_UNICODE=n, you start with 8bit, and can, at will, at runtime, too, change it ;-) Jan -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
